Microweave Meatball Stew from One-Pot Recipes

I haven't had this one but am DEFINITELY going to try it soon - perhaps over the weekend when I am babysitting for my little Miss Adison!  Don't stew when there's no time to simmer dinner.  This extra speedy stew is ready in about 25 minutes.

Microwave, Meatball Stew

1 egg, beaten

1/2 c dry bread crumbs
1/2 c finely chopped onion
2 Tbs onion soup mix
1 pound ground beef
1 can (16 oz) whole potatoes, drained and quartered
1 1/4 c sliced frozen carrots
1 1/4 c frozen peas
1 can (10 3/4 oz) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted
1 can (10 1/2 oz) condensed beef broth, undiluted
1/2 tsp dried savory
1/4 tsp dried thyme
2 Tbs cornstarch
2 Tbs water
1/4 tsp browning sauce, optional

Combine egg, crumbs, onion and soup mix.  Add beef and mix well.  Shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.  Place in a microwave-safe baking dish; cover and microwave on high for 5 minutes.  turn meatballs and microwave 5 minutes more; drain.  Combine the next seven ingredients; spoon over meatballs and stir once.  combine cornstarch and water and browning sauce if desired; stir into the stew.  Microwave on high for 2 minutes or until thickened and bubbly.

Makes 4 - 6 servings

Enjoy!!
