GBP's 101 Easy EVERYDAY Recipes ~ Sunday Meatball Skillet


The recipe I am posting today from 101 Easy Everyday Recipes is from the chapter Toss-Together Suppers. Now you all know that I am a sucker for any recipe that includes the word SKILLET and this cookbook features a few including Easy Skillet Lasanga, Skillet Dinner and Sunday Meatball Skillet. Since my kids are huge Swedish Meatball fans, I tried Sunday Meatball Skillet (although I will be making the other 2 very soon). This recipe was simple and got thumbs up from the meatball enthusiasts. This book has been a joy to review -- simple, everyday style foods that are a snap to get onto the table. The book is full of gorgeous photos and I was drawn to read and reread the dedication which really sums up the Gooseberry Patch experience for me...."To those who delight in making every meal special!" -- that would be you and I -- THANKS GOOSEBERRY PATCH for helping us everyday home cooks do just that!!

3/4lb ground beef
