Ever since ChocolateSuze blogged about the Ikea meatballs, gravy and mash that she made a few days ago, I have been eyeing that bag of frozen meatballs in my freezer for days. It was perfect timing one Saturday night when I was just feeling really lazy to come up with anything creative, so to meatballs land I went!

Easy, tasty, and a quick hearty meal. And very minimal washing!

Ikea Meatballs, Mashed Potatoes, and Gravy

Makes approximately 2 servings

20 meatballs

1/2 packet of Ikea gravy

3 medium sized potatoes

Butter

1. Boil the potatoes in a saucepan.

2. Microwave the meatballs as per individual directions.

Ignore the cream - didn't even need to use it! Less calories too.

3. Make the gravy as per packet directions.

4. When the potatoes are cooked, drain the water, and mash the potatoes like you’ve never mashed them before! Add a couple of tablespoons of butter, salt, and pepper to taste.

5. Plate up the meatballs, drizzle some gravy, and voila! Enjoy.

NB. I do have some lingonberry jam in the cupboard but I prefer my meatballs without it.
