Meatballs Wthout a Country.

Yesterday we saw an ad for Campbell’s soup that featured a
reference to a ‘Swedish Meatball’ recipe. I looked it up on
line and it seems reasonable. I’ll make it when the weather
turns colder next week.
However, I remember another Campbell’s soup recipe for ‘Swedish
Meatballs’ that had little or nothing to do with real Swedish
meatballs. Still, it was a childhood favorite.
The recipe involved a can of chicken with rice soup and a can of
tomato soup. It wasn’t an Italian sauce. It wasn’t like a
kofta but it was good served over either spaghetti or mashed
potatoes. Does anyone remember this kit-bash?

No, sorry, nothing comes to mind.
Would you please post the recipe that you're referring to?
When (and if!) I make meatballs I usually use my meatloaf
recipe, just roll the meat into balls instead of a loaf.
When the DDs were young I usually bought the frozen Swedish
meatballs for a quick and easy meal. I don't know what made them
'Swedish' but they were a whole lot better than the Italian
meatballs.

I've never heard of this but did a quick google search and found
a recipe for Madhatter meatballs that has the chicken and rice
and tomato soups. The post says it was from the Betty Crocker
Boys and Girls cookbook. The reviews say they need more flavor.

There is NO flavoring in those meatballs. Salt--that's it.
No onion or garlic--not even the powders, which you might have
expected Betty to use for that cookbook. No herbs.

Thank you, Hmmm!
This is the blast from the past I remember. We used the Betty
Crocker Boys and Girls cookbook when I took Home Ec in the 8th
grade. Even the torn up white bread instead of bread crumbs
rings true.
My Mom probably called the dish Swedish meatballs because my
Father would never eat anything named ‘Mad Hatter’ but he did
enjoy going to a local Smorgasbord place.

I was curious about other recipes from that cookbook so did
another search. Here's a link to the Italian Spaghetti. Ground
beef, onion, garlic, tomato sauce & tomato paste and a bit of
worcheshire sauce. They at least top it with Parm, but.... no.

I think the original publication date was the 50's and a release
in the 70's. But so bland on all of them.
