Vida Recetas Editorial
Meatball casserole is a traditional Chilean dish that combines a comforting beef broth with juicy meatballs, potatoes, squash, and corn. This casserole is ideal for cold days, as it is nutritious and full of flavor. Originating from home cooking, every family has its variation, but this recipe will guide you step by step to achieve a delicious result.
Why prepare this casserole?
- It is a complete meal that includes protein, carbohydrates, and vegetables.
- Perfect for sharing at family gatherings or for cooking in large batches.
- It can be easily adapted: you can add more vegetables or change the type of meat.
The key is in the sofrito and the well-seasoned broth. The meatballs are made with ground meat, egg, flour, and cilantro, giving them a tender texture. The rice and potatoes cook in the same broth, absorbing all the flavors. This casserole is versatile: if you don't have corn or squash, you can omit them. Serving with fresh cilantro on top enhances the aroma.
