Barbecue meatballs over mashed potatoes

I sampled this unlikely-sounding concoction at our local Publix grocery and liked it so much, I bought all the ingredients listed in the recipe's shopping list to make it at home. Don't judge it until you've tried it.

Another woman and I were sampling it at the same time, and we agreed that it was fantastic and that onions & lemon juice really made the dish extraordinary.

Our local Publix has a real cook in the meat department who prepared the dish and was serving it while I was there. He said one addition he would make to the recipe would be some garlic. I thought it was fine without that.

I think that sounds so good!

But of course mash potatoes go good with everything!😋

Mashed potatoes good; spinach not.

This recipe sounds pretty good to me @novamc1, but I've never tried frozen meatballs. Obviously I could make my own, but I'm wondering if there's a brand you could recommend (if you've ever used them). Thanks.

I'm not a big buyer of frozen meatballs, but the ones used in this recipe from Publix grocery are the Cooked Perfect brand, so I got the plain Angus beef flavor.......not the Italian or any other seasoned type offered by the same vendor. I've seen Cooked Perfect in the freezer case in many stores in two states, so I guess they are a popular convenient go-to item for folks who eat a lot of meatballs.

I haven't made a meatball in years! I buy a huge bag whenever I go to Costco and they are supurb! Don't waste your time in all the time and effort making meatballs, these really do taste great!

@novamc1 I often make mexican and/or chipotle meatballs and serve over rice. Love the mexican mtbl recipe I have, found it yrs ago in a 'Real Simple' mag I think.

Thank you @novamc1. I'll look for them!

Today, I noticed that frozen Cooked Perfect meatballs were on sale at my local Kroger grocery store for $5.99 a bag..... and in many different flavors.

I'd opt for the plain Angus Beef, although a so-called "Homestyle" version is available, made of chicken, pork and something else I didn't take time to remember. Also available in an Italian version and some others, too.

@novamc1 thanks so much for the heads up on these as I snagged a bag today for $4.99. They only had three bags total and Homestyle was the only one available but I know it will work for me. Thanks again for the recommendation and the recipe my friend!

I know it would take more time, but I would make my own meatballs (2 kinds of ground meat, parm cheese, bread crumbs and an egg) AND mashed potatoes. Just sayin'!
