Fist off I don't make my own meatballs but I buy the Tesco beef meatballs and the tesco sweedish style ones.

I tend to do the sweedish ones in a creamy sauce a la Ikea - pork stock cube, elmlea and a splash of soy sauce and the beef ones in a tomato based sauce - garlic, onions, tinned tomatoes, tomato puree and herbs

But I'm looking for some different ideas?

I tend to do mine in a tomato sauce (originally from Skysie - do you remember that recipe from yonks ago Noo Noo?!!! :laff: )

Thinking about it though - how about an onion gravy style sauce?

Mustard sauce?

How about jazzing the tomato sauce to a goulashy flavour with lots of peppers and paprika?

Some form of chilli sauce?

I don't know how well this would work but sweet and sour sauce or a smoky bbq sauce?

I'm not really that good at knowing what meats would be good with what sauces though! Well - apart from say lamb meatballs with mint sauce!!!!! :laff: :laff: :laff:

I rarely make my own either :oops: but when Waitrose make them so well why bother :laff:

I prefer a quite simple tomato or tomato and chilli sauce with lots of parmesan on top. I'm really fancying these now !

I'm liking the idea of a mustard sauce with the sweedish style ones - will give that a try.

Spicy, chilli and/or peppers don't go down well with the kids unfortunately
