Spaghetti and meatballs is one of those easy weeknight meals that many of us make over and over. Here's a way to take it to a whole new level by adding a secret ingredient to our meatballs. Guess what it is!
What You'll Need
- 1 pound ground beef
- 3/4 cup crushed potato chips
- 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
- 1/2 cup water
- 1/4 cup coarsley chopped fresh parsley
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 (28-ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
- 1 pound spaghetti
What to Do
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, potato chips, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, the water, parsley, egg, garlic powder, and black pepper; mix well then form into 12 meatballs.
- Place meatballs in a large pot and cook over medium-high heat until brown on all sides, turning occasionally; drain.
- Add spaghetti sauce, cover, and reduce heat to medium-low. Continue cooking meatballs in sauce for about 20 minutes, or until no pink remains.
- Meanwhile, prepare spaghetti according to package directions.
- Serve cooked spaghetti with meatballs and sauce, and sprinkle with remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese.

Very good! I just made these for dinner. I love potato chips AND meatballs so what's not to like? The chips add nice flavor. I used one jar of sauce and about 1/2 jar of water.I will make again!

I first made these about ten years ago. They were a big hit and forgot all about them. Came across this website a few days ago and made them again. Simply melt in your mouth goodness!! Was like finding a lost friend.

Question, how do you get the "recipe" itself to show when you save a Recipe to your file established? I just setup a file and saved this recipe and it only showed the title, no recipe??? Thanks - Shirley
