MEATBALL STEW THE STEW 2/3 Cup of Oil 1 Cup All Purpose flour 2 Onions 1 Green Bell Pepper 2 sticks of Celery 1 Bunch of Green Onions 4 Cloves of Garlic 1 (32 oz) Container of Chicken Stock (**Beef Broth/Stock also works**) 4 Cups of Hot Water 1 Tbsp of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1 Tbsp of Parsley Flakes 1 Tsp of Pepper 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce THE MEATBALLS 2 lbs of Ground Beef 1/2 Tbsp of Cajun or Creole Seasoning 1 Tsp of Salt 1 Tsp Garlic Powder 1 Tsp Onion Powder 1 Tbsp of Worcestershire Sauce Water 2 Slices of White Bread 1 Cup Plain Breadcrumbs 2 Eggs Start out by heating a large pot over a Low heat. Also, preheat your oven to 375°. Chop the onions, bell pepper, celery, green onion, garlic, and move to your fridge. Add the 2/3 cup of oil and 1 cup of flour to the pot. Begin making the roux by slowly stirring the flour and oil. This is a time consuming process. You’re going to want to stir for up to an hour or until you reach a chocolate color. Upon reaching a chocolate color, drop in the chopped vegetables and sauté for 20-30 minuets. Next add the 32oz container of chicken stock, a little at a time. Blend evenly. Add 4 Cups of hot water. Add the Cajun seasoning, parsley, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves and stir. Bring to a boil, cover, lower to simmer, and let cook for 1 hour. At this time you will get started on the meatballs. In a large bowl add the 2 lbs of ground beef, cajun seasoning, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, and Worcestershire sauce. In a plate off to the side, add a small amount of water. Dampen the bread in the plate, tear the bread in to small pieces, and add to the bowl. Add the bread crumbs and eggs. Mix well with your hands. Roll the mixture into meatballs a little larger than the size of a golf ball, and place them on a greased pan. Bake them in the oven for 25-30 minuets. Once the meatballs are done, set aside in a strainer over a plate until the 1 hour mark is up on your stew. Add the meatballs to the stew gently one at a time. You can also remove the bay leaves at this point. Bring the stew back to a slight boil, lower to a medium/low heat. Let the stew cook for another hour UNCOVERED, or until the gravy reaches your desired consistency. Cook some rice, and enjoy!

I started cooking your recipes almost 2 years ago. You have to put a warning label on these recipes. I got an engagement ring and a brand new baby as a result. ❤🤣🤣🤣

Sooo happy I've found your channel! I'm from Louisiana & in need of some real Cajun cooking for my family and I! Thank you so much. Please keep sharing your delicious talent with us!

Again. One of my favorites. Down too the gravy. And the metaballs. i like to save this leftover gravy to mix with dirty rice and bake it!!! Comes out so good. Definitely a keeper in our home

See South of I-10 we call dat Meatball Fricassee and meatballs can be pork chops, chicken, even eggs for those less fortunate!!!

Oh my goodness this was soooo good. Probably my favorite so far

Made this for dinner last night. Hubby said, it was BUSSIN!!! LOL I made 3 of your recipes in a week... the stewed beef( loved it), smothered chops ( a hit) hubby said, " best chops he'd ever eaten. " and meatball stew last night. Hubby said, he'll keep me. 🥰❤❤❤ Ty CJ!!!

OMG!!!! THIS IS THE BEST THING I'VE EVER MADE IN MY ENTIRE LIFE!!!!!!!!!

Your wife got lucky, wish my husband could cook. Thank goodness though I can learn some new recipes from you, have made many of your recipes. You really need a cookbook, really do

Hey Cajun Ninja! I'm here for you and the meatball stew! That looks so yummy and since it's been getting chilly here in Texas, I'm ready for meatball stew and cornbread with potato salad! Pi-yah!!! I'm so happy to see this recipe!

Tried this recipe today. So far so good. Can't wait to eat it.

This along with your jambalaya is on the menu for the next 2 weeks. Every time I make one of your recipes my kids are always saying, “mom dinner smells so good!”

My mother in laws in ICU, my father in law is of course not leaving her side. I made this today and brought him some for dinner. It was so delicious and comforting!

National Champs baby! I’m gonna try this out soon thanks for posting and keep the recipes coming dude

Followed the recipe exactly how you did it and WOW. So good!

I made this tonight and it is amazing! Thank you!!

I am Latina, but I love Cajun food. And I’m learning different recipes with you.

My mouth is watering!

I started cooking this my dad this but with a green twist ....he used the same ingredient s...i don't eat meet but I make the rooe..love the end product...just shared on my community tab...nice to see you again piya ✌♥️🤣

Thank u for sharing. @16:22 that look was everything. I appreciate how u broke this delicious stew down. Peace

Chooooooo baw!! Let me tell you, My husband LOVES when I cook your recipes. He can't get enough. I spoiled him.

I like to do green onion bottoms in my initial trinity. In the last hour I add the chives and diced red pepper. It adds wonderful color and another layer of flavor. If you make it spicy, the sweet of the reds pairs perfectly. I do this with my gumbo and his pastalaya as well. Color is important to the palete!

Delicious!! My husband and I cooked this together....our teenage son who thinks he is a food critic really, really liked it!! 👍🏻👍🏻

Ooooh wee I can't wait to work this recipe out😁😋🥰

Another Great Recipe 👍 Love the shirt and the hat 🐅

Subbed brother. Your recipes and techniques are awesome man. My wife is going to love this recipe.

I cooked this tonight for supper with homemade cornbread and coleslaw and it was great. 👍👍👍👍❤️👍👍👍👍

I love any kind of fricassee. Looks so good!

I've been in south Louisiana my whole life. I'm out on my own now. Time for me to learn some Cajun recipes

Yummalicious looking meatball stew you've there.😋💖

Man this looks off the hinges! There ain't much sets off some rice like some cajun simmered gravy balls. Imma have to try this recipe. Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work.

Yummy! I love stew AND meatballs!! What a combination! Pi-yahhhhh 👊🏻

Hello first time trying your recipe and my first time cooking this in soo excited can’t wait to taste it ☺️🥰

This is delicious! I can not stop making it! Just made a pot today! 4th time in the last month.

Hey! You explain things so good... love your channel..❤

Man, I can’t believe you throw away the bottom of the green onions! That’s my favorite part. I eat them with fried fish. Just cut the roots off. Eat all the way to the chives. It’s wonderful

The “Cajun Drake” strikes again 🧔🏻🌶🔥✊🏽

I just made this and it was soo good.

I am in South Carolina and I seen this video last night..I am making this now for my dinner today

Looks so good good job

Looks delicious

I’ve made this recipe a few times. My roux never clumps up in the beginning like yours does. I do 1 cup flour, 2/3 cup vegetable oil. Should I add less oil?

My mouth is watering 😊

I enjoy watching your KZfaq I plan on cooking this today Breaux Bridge represent that homestyle cajun cooking

Making this tonight for my son's 17th birthday. Hubby and I were watching the video last night and my son happened to see and wanted it for dinner. Can't wait to see how it comes out! I'm not worried though, I haven't made one recipe of yours that wasn't a hit ! :)

Favorite meal growing up

I have to make this 💜🙋🏾‍♀️🔥 🔥 I have to!

Listen I ran across this recipe and it is delicious… I had begin to dislike meatballs for awhile. This just became a new love!!!!

I made this tonight and damn!... that's some good stuff right there!

Looks good love the videos-- James from Alabama

Got this simmering while the game is on!

Have you tried using tallow or lard for making your rouxs? I agree, chicken stock does compliment most beef stews.

That is a winner I know without making it yet. Will get down for sure.

Thank you Sir, I made Pastalya tonight and now I know what I'm making tomorrow hahaha

Chooo na dat looks good baw 🙌🏻

My sister gave me your cookbook for my birthday! I’m so excited to have it!

What kind of Cajun seasoning do you use?

I made this with pot roast tonight. It was 🔥🔥🔥.

I add quartered potatoes the last 30 minutes of cooking. Can add peas an carrots also. Yummy.

This came out very well for me

Man, your recipes are awesome. I would like to know what kind of pots you use? If it's not one of your secrets...lol

Tryin this today!

I'm trying this, thank you! Can I substitute with fresh parsley? Would that work?

I bet that it tasted great!

What brand cast iron do you use? And what size is this pot?

I made this for dinner tonight. And let me tell you what. Cajun Ninja knows what’s up.

I used to cook my meatballs 1st also, but have you tried putting the uncooked meatballs right into the stew to cook? They seem to take on more of the gravy flavor and come out much more tender. Looks delicious and now I want stew lol. 😋

Gonna make this tonight

Love your videos. Geaux Tigers!

Thank you so much imma make this bad boy today!

Nice job!

I know I have asked this before. I have search on amazon and can’t find it. But could you please put the link to the cook ware again.

It's been awhile good sir, welcome back!

Made this today, with some sweet tomatoes!

As Jerry Lee Lewis once said " Goodness Gracious Great Balls of Fire "

Got this on the stove top right now!

I love a dark roux. Gotta be careful you don’t burn it - nothing worse than burnt roux. Kinda like burnt popcorn. Keep up the good work.

My son asked me to make meatball stew like PawPaw used to make..he passed away in January. I made this for the 1st time tonight…it was delicious!!

What temp do you bake the meatballs on?

You're the best!! :-)

Looks good brother

Sheweee did the smothered poke chops a couple of times turnt out amazing; just turned the fire off on the meatball stew taste test says this gonna be the shizz

New subscriber hey everybody 👋🏽 👋🏽Love this video trying this tonight 🥰

How much different would this taste without the roux? Really want to make this but also trying to be healthier lately

I would eat that any day, all day. I love meatballs.

Try your meatballs with no breadcrumbs. Once I started I never went back. MEATY baby!!

That looks bomb$hit my man!

How does this recipe compare to your Salisbury steak recipe which I love.

I just found this recipe randomly and I find it fascinating because in the French parts of Canada we do the same type of meatball stew, thickened with toasted flour (same taste as a roux, just a different method), but instead of cajun flavours it's spiced with clove, cinnamon, nutmeg, etc. I will definitely make this Cajun version one day and compare! Merci!

Making this now. Gosh damn that roux takes a long time to get colored. Over an hour. No arm workout this week!

i just found your channel. i would like to make some of your recipes we dont have this kind of food on the west coast. question it may be dumb but could you make a bunch of the rue and maybe freeze some for other recipes??

I got this cooking now and man it got my kitchen smelling so good I had the windows up and my neighbors came over to ask . I been cooking canjun nigga food all week 😂😂

My daughter has a severe egg allergy. What would you recommend to substitute for the eggs in the meatballs?
