French Onion Meatballs


Are you looking for a new dinner to wow your family? This is it. Also a fan of french onion soup? Then you must ty this dinner based on the classic soup. I now make this every week because we love it so much. This is a wonderful choice if you are having company, too. I used a meatloaf mix for the meatballs. You can find this in your local food store or from your butcher. It is just a fancy name for a combination of meats including beef, pork and veal and makes the meatballs extra tender and delicious. Of course, you can feel free to use all ground beef. You probably could use ground chicken also but I have not tried that out yet. For the crostini, you can use your favorite Italian or French bread. Don’t skimp on the parsley….it makes the dinner look beautiful. You may also love Meatballs with Spinach Ricotta Cheese or Oven Baked Chicken Meatballs

    Made this tonight for dinner. I don’t like the soggy bread on French Onion soup, so I made the bread separately. Made the meatballs and sauce, and made egg noodles separately. Put noodles in a dish, poured sauce over, laid meatballs on top, covered with cheese, and broiled. Very good!!!

    So I’m a tad confused. Is this going to turn out like French onion soup with meatballs in it? Or is the “sauce” supposed to be gravy-like? The tastes sound great. We love French onion soup. But I want to know what it’s supposed to end up like. Thanks.
