This is one of my favorite recipes. It's a real change of pace from the usual. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is to die for. I usually double or even triple the sauce since it is just wonderful over rice.
Mix the meat and the rest of the meatball ingredients lightly, working it as little as possible to get it thoroughly mixed. Shape into 16 meatballs. Place on a foil lined broiler pan and make the sauce.
For the sauce, melt the butter in a skillet. Saute the onion until it is softening. Add the coriander, ginger and cayenne and stir it in until the onion is fully tender. Add the remaining ingredients, stirring constantly for a couple of minutes. Remove from the heat.
Place the meatballs under a preheated broiler 4 inches from the heat. Broil for 3 minutes. Brush on the sauce and continue broiling for 3 minutes. Turn the meatballs and brush more sauce on. Broil for 3 or 4 more minutes, until cooked through.
You may also brown the meatballs in a skillet, then add them to the sauce in its skillet. I do this when I double or triple the sauce. Once browned, I simmer them, stirring often, until they are done.
This is good served with rice or pasta.

I am looking for a recipe that was on the back of the Heinz 57 bottle in the 80s. You made meatballs with Parmesan cheese. The sauce was Heinz 57, canned tomatoes, and sugar. You served it over noodles. Can someone help?

I looked for the recipe and have not found it as yet but here is one that could be used for meat balls instead of roast.
the link is www.heinz.com/
I found one @ "about.com" called 'sauced meatballs'. It sounds like this is the one you might be looking for. Hope this is it?!
I went back to the site and copy/pasted...again hope this is 'the one' :-)
SAUCED MEATBALLS
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef5 (ground chuck recommended for flavor)
Preparation:
Using a large serving fork, combine ground beef11, Parmesan cheese12, bread crumbs, milk, sweet onions13, egg, salt14, and pepper15. Using 1 rounded tablespoon for each, roll ground beef mixture into about 30 meatballs.
In a bowl, mix together canned tomatoes16, Heinz 57 Sauce, brown sugar, and salt until combined. Set aside.
Frying Method:
Heat a large, deep skillet over medium heat. Add shortening or oil and brown meatballs on all sides. Drain fat. Sprinkle with flour and gently stir meatballs to coat. Proceed with the sauce.
Baking Method:
Preheat oven to 450 F. Line a jellyroll pan with a Silpat17, non-stick foil, or parchment paper. Line up the meatballs, placing them 1 inch apart. Bake for 15 minutes. Transfer to a heavy, deep skillet over medium heat and sprinkle with the flour. Stir to coat. Proceed with the sauce.
Pour tomato mixture over meatballs. Simmer uncovered 20 to 30 minutes or until sauce18 thickens to your liking. Stir several times as it cooks to prevent sticking and encourage even cooking.
Serve meatballs with sauce over hot buttered noodles19 or rice and sprinkle with chopped parsley. Sauced meatballs may also be used as an appetizer20 (a crockpot21 works well to keep them warm) or in meatball sandwiches22 topped with cheese23.
Yield: 6 to 8 servings in about 3 cups of sauce as a main dish (about 30 meatballs)

I need some help with spices. In this mushroom meatball recipe, the gravy is great, and the meatballs are good, but kind of bland. I don't want them to be spicy as in hot, just more flavorful. What herbs/spices would you add to the meatballs? I will probably try any and all suggestions since I make this a lot. Exact measurements would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Here is the recipe:
Mix all but soup, milk, and water. Shape into meatballs, place in single layer in sprayed 9 X 13 inch pan. Stir soup, milk, and water together until smooth. Pour over meatballs, cover tightly and bake at 350 degrees F for 1 hour. Serve gravy over rice or mashed potatoes.
NOTE: For more gravy, use 2 cans of soup, 1 soup can each of milk and water.

Some spices you can use for the meatballs, but not necessarily together. A little experimenting would do nicely.
Allspice, Basil, Marjoram, Paprika(tends to be a little hot if too much is used), Oregano, Italian spice mix. Diced garlic, Worchester sauce and ketchup are also a great add in for meatballs. If using ketchup cut the amount of liquid by however much ketchup you add.
Sometime I use thyme or poultry seasoning. They both go well with meatballs and mushroom soup and add a lot of flavor.
One of my favorites is Summer Savory - a herb that adds great flavor to many recipes. It's hard to find in stores, so you can order it from Penzey's. Use about one-half teaspoon for 1 to 1 1/2 pounds of meat. I like to break it down a little further than it is when you get it, by pressing and rubbing with the back of a spoon, especially the larger pieces (stems). Summer savory gives things a wonderful flavor and goes really well with chicken.
I am looking for a corned beef recipe. I'm not sure what it's called, but the meal was corned beef meatballs with rice. There was a cheesy horseradish sauce to pour on top.

If you are looking for an unusual main dish, try these pomegranate and spice flavored meatballs that contain a hard boiled egg inside. This Persian inspired main dish is severed in its own broth.
