Mom’s Homemade Italian Hamburger Helper

My mother never heard of hamburger helper I’m sure. But she made Homemade Italian Hamburger Helper often and us kids just loved it.

 

I don’t think she even had a name for it. I’m sure she just had quick and easy on her mind but we thought it was great.

Hers was healthier too. It didn’t have all the unhealthy additives like partially hydrogenated oils. And when it comes to taste the box mixes lag way behind Moms.

This is not her dish exactly because it uses jarred sauce but the taste is very familiar.

Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs

These Italian Melt-In-Your-Mouth Meatballs are absolutely perfect Italian meatballs. Now I know there will be arguments about that!

 

Most Italian families have their own meatball recipe that they swear is the only authentic meatball!

Meatballs are comfort food and when we think comfort food it’s usually what we grew up with. The food that Mama fixed. That’s my perception.

But there’s no way I’ll ever make meatballs any other way now. These are just so juicy and delicious.
