{Chicken Meatballs with Kraft Fresh Take}

One of my most favorite no-fuss meals to make during the week is Chicken Meatballs with Tortellini.  I’m such a sucker for a good pasta dish, and who doesn’t love a good meatball?!  After browsing my local Walmart last weekend, I was excited to put a new spin on my classic meatball recipe by using Kraft Fresh Take Italian Parmesan Cheese & Breadcrumb mix.

The meal kit was located in the dairy case, near all of the shredded cheeses.  There were quite a few varieties to choose from as well, and I’m excited to try them out in some other dishes soon.  Cheddar Jack & Bacon sounds right up my alley!  If you’d like to see my entire shopping trip at Walmart, click here.

Once I got home, I modified my original recipe to include Kraft Fresh Take.

To make Chicken Meatballs with Tortellini, you’ll need the following ingredients:

1 lb ground chicken {if you prefer ground beef or ground turkey use that instead}

Kraft Fresh Take Italian Parmesan Cheese & Breadcrumb Mix

1 egg

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon brown sugar

1 teaspoon onion powder

2 teaspoons Worcestershire Sauce

1 teaspoon oregano

1 teaspoon thyme

1 teaspoon fresh minced garlic

To make the meatball mixture, add all ingredients into a large bowl.  You’ll want to use all of the breadcrumbs from the Kraft Fresh Take Kit and 1/2 cup of the Parmesan cheese.  Mix together with clean hands, form into meatballs, and set in a greased, glass baking dish.

Cook @ 375 for approximately 50 minutes.

When the meatballs have about 15 minutes to go in the oven, warm your favorite sauce and boil water for tortellini {or whatever type of pasta you’d prefer}.

I like to prepare a fresh side salad to go with any Italian meal.  When I think pasta, I always want a salad to go with it for some reason!

I used the remaining Parmesan from the Kraft Fresh Take Kit to add to the salad.  The cheese was so fresh!

Soon, I had a delicious, home-cooked meal in less than an hour, ready for my family to enjoy at the end of a long day.

Another reason why I love making this is because I always have just enough left over for a yummy lunch the next day!
