Ikea Meatballs

[gravytate]

Bought a bag of ikea meatballs but there are many in! We have finiushed the gravy but have the majority of the meatballs left and they are defrosted so gotta be used in next few days. Anyone got any ideas at all?

[funnygirl]

Why not make a bolognaise sauce and put in your defrosted meatballs?
Shepherds Pie using the meatballs?

If they are anything like their appalling sawdust hotdogs then just bin them.

Alternatively serve with the strained juice from a can of baked beans, spaghetti, and tabasco sauce.

Did you buy a big bag of them?

Mr P and I usually have a small packet and get through it together quite easily. As long as we have gravy.

[gravytate]

ya got a big bag but used all gravy last night. they are well nice!

[Pippa68]

Phew.

There was me thinking I was a greedy cow! next time just take out what you need and put the rest back in the freezer :o)

Yes, I love them. With new potatoes and lingonberry jam. I would go with the spaghetti sauce idea.

[gravytate]

oh and whiffey I always have a jug of drained baked beens in my fridge that I generally use as a basis for all meals so thats an easy one to do.

Whiffey that sounds absolutely vile. How anyone can use the tomato sauce from a can instead of making it themselves amazes me. Still, nothing like the UK for a quick-fix when it comes to food! LOL no surprise why us Europeans think your cuisine is the worst around!

[Pippa68]

Baked Beans are American
Spaghetti is Italian
Tabasco is Mexican.

Yup..it's our very own cuisine ;o) however I don't think the entire nation can be blamed for one persons strange tastes..lol.

you could build a snowman out of them, since we haven't had much snow. The carrot nose would be quite appropriate

[filthiestfis]

How come Americans dont consume baked beans in tomato sauce in the same quantities as English people do? Did the can of baked beans become a war time staple?

[Pippa68]

I think they have theirs in barbecue sauce..could be wrong!

However I reckon the popularity can be blamed on the French. Cassoulet (bean stew) is bound to have been the forerunner ;o)

Dry them out, thread them with cooked spaghetti and wear as a contemporary and talking-point necklace.

Alternatively put them in your airing cupboard in the hope that they swell, thread them with cooked spaghetti and use as a draught excluder.
