Meatless Meatballs

It's a restaurant worthy dish that's accessible to the home cook with everyday ingredients and straightforward methods.

Recipe Summary Meatless Meatballs

Carnivores love these meat-free balls. Serve as an appetizer, on a sandwich, with a meal, or over noodles. I like the mushroom gravy and egg noodles for a yummy Stroganoff.

Ingredients | Spanish Meatballs Recipe Hairy Bikers

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

8 eggs

2 cups cracker crumbs

1 ½ cups finely ground pecans

1 (1 ounce) package dry onion soup mix

2 teaspoons celery salt

vegetable oil for frying

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

22 fluid ounces milk

Directions

Combine mozzarella cheese, eggs, cracker crumbs, pecans, onion soup mix, and celery salt in a large bowl. Form mixture into small meatballs.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan. Cook meatballs in batches until browned and crispy, about 5 minutes. Drain on a baking sheet lined paper towels.

Transfer meatballs to a large slow cooker. Cover with cream of mushroom soup. Use the empty can to measure and pour in milk. Cook on Low until flavors combine and soup mixture thickens, 30 minutes to 2 hours.

Substitute any nut meal you like. A food processor or coffee grinder can be used to grind the nuts.

Use any kind of cheese you like.

You can cook meatballs in a 50-50 mix of grape jelly and chili sauce (such as Heinz(R)), soup mix (such as Lipton(R)) mixed with water or tomato juice, spaghetti sauce, or any flavor soup you like (but it should be thick).

We have determined the nutritional value of oil for frying based on a retention value of 10% after cooking. Amount will vary depending on cooking time and temperature, ingredient density, and specific type of oil used.
