These baked meatballs make a quick and easy meal, and all you need besides the meatball mixture is a jar of gravy, seasonings, and some cooked noodles. It’s the perfect meal for a busy weekday. I like to bake meatballs because it’s easy and doesn’t create a mess. Using a foil-lined baking pan, there’s minimal cleanup, and you don’t have to stand over a hot stove turning meatballs.
Recipe Variations

- For Swedish meatball flavor, add 1 tablespoon of fresh chopped dill to the creamy gravy mixture or about 1/2 teaspoon of dried dill.
