Albondigas Recipe

Fantastic recipe! I adjusted it to make a larger batch by following suggestions from other reviewers. I used 8 cups of water along with 2 heaping tablespoons of beef "better than bouillon." To enhance the flavor, I added 3 tablespoons of dried cilantro, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, and paprika. After bringing it to a boil, I included 1/2 cup of rinsed brown lentils and let it simmer for 40 minutes. Then, I mixed in salsa, carrots, onion, and 1 cup of diced zucchini. After bringing it to a boil again, I let it simmer for an additional 20 minutes. I then added diced potato and 1 pound of semi-thawed, quartered, ready-made frozen sirloin meatballs and continued to simmer for another 20 minutes. To adjust the consistency, I added 2 more cups of water as the soup was still very thick. For the next time, I might reduce the lentils or consider omitting the meat altogether. This recipe will definitely become a regular in our meal rotation!

I tried making this dish for the first time and it turned out amazing! After reading some reviews, I made a few adjustments and added my own touch. Instead of using just water, I used a mixture of water and chicken broth, totaling 6 cups. I included 2 teaspoons of chopped garlic in the soup and added squash to the red potatoes and carrots. Additionally, I incorporated 5 ounces of tomato sauce and one packet of Goya Sazon for extra flavor. For the meatballs, I mixed in onions, chopped cilantro, salt, pepper, and half a teaspoon of paprika. Instead of bread crumbs, I used 1 cup of white rice. To my surprise, my family loved it and actually asked for seconds, which rarely happens.

I found this dish to be incredibly delicious. I made a few minor adjustments, but for the most part, I stuck to the original recipe. It turned out very well.

I absolutely adore this recipe and it turned out fantastic! Plus, it's low in calories. Thank you! 😊

I absolutely adore this recipe! I have cooked it multiple times, and it's a hit with my family every time. I like to skip the milk and include cilantro in the meatballs 😊.

I didn't have any potatoes on hand last night, so I decided to get creative with blended veggies, diced tomatoes, carrots, and zucchini/squash! I whipped up some delicious meatballs using Mrs. Dash seasoning and teriyaki sauce. This dish reminded me of our favorite order at Mexican restaurants, and my husband couldn't get enough - he had three bowls! It was a hit with the whole family.

I followed my friend from Sonora, Mexico's advice and included rice in the meatball recipe.

Simple to prepare using ingredients you likely already have on hand.
