How to Serve with Mississippi Meatballs

Mississippi Meatballs is a versatile dish that can be served in various ways to suit different preferences. Here are some delicious serving suggestions for Mississippi Meatballs:

• Over Mashed Potatoes: Serve the shredded Mississippi Meatballs over creamy mashed potatoes. The rich and flavorful gravy from the pot roast adds extra richness and depth to the potatoes.
• With Rice or Quinoa: Mississippi Meatballs can also be served over cooked rice or quinoa for a hearty and satisfying meal. The grains soak up the flavorful sauce from the pot roast, enhancing their taste.

Creating a Mississippi Meatball Sub sandwich is a tasty way to enjoy this slow cooker recipe. Place the meatballs on a subroll, add cheese of your choice, provolone and mozzarella are my favorites on top. Add any additional toppings like lettuce, tomato, onions, or pickles. For melted cheese, place the sandwich under the broiler in the oven for 2-3 minutes before adding any extra toppings.

Variations And Substitutions

Ranch Seasoning mix. The easiest way is to use the packet of ranch seasoning, but if you are wanting to skip having additives in your food then use homemade ranch seasoning. 

Au Jus Mix. This is the packet of Au Jus gravy mix you find in the grocery store. If you can not find it or do not have it on hand you can use a packet of Onion soup mix and 4 tablespoons of beef bullion. You can also use a packet of brown gravy mix in place of au jus packet mix.

Beef Broth. If you do not have beef broth, then you can use beef bullion to make beef broth.

Add veggies. You can add diced onions and diced bell peppers along with the pepperoncini peppers. 

Butter. I use salted butter but you can also use unsalted butter.

How to Store Leftover Mississippi Meatballs Leftovers

Allow the meatballs to cool down to room temperature before refrigerating. Place the leftover meatballs in an airtight container or a bowl and wrap it tightly with aluminum foil or plastic wrap.

When you want to reheat the meatballs, place them on a microwave safe dish or in a microwave safe bowl and reheat them in the microwave.
