How to make Meatball Stew (Authentic Cajun Recipe)

[@soniabergeron8711]

I'm a cajun from Basile, Louisiana and love your recipe. I add potatoes to my stew.

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you so much! Sometimes I add them as well. So good either way. Thanks for the comment

[@expertscholardemonologist7071]

C'est bien beau, mais faut parler en Français.

[@katehanks5901]

Made this tonight & it came out well! Being from Lafayette I'm always leery about trying something online that says it's Cajun (y'all know what I'm talking about) but when I saw you were from Maurice I figured I could trust it. lol. Thanks for the recipe!

[@TheCajunChef]

Thanks so much! I know exactly what you mean lol

[@rstone31]

Making it right now. I'm a Cajun born and raised in Lafayette but have lived in South Carolina for the past 10 years. I ate this growing up but never learned how to make it.

[@TheCajunChef]

Robin, Thanks so much for watching! How did it turn out?

[@mikehill1201]

[@TheCajunChef]

[@Terny7913]

Made this today. I added potatoes and boiled eggs to mine!!! Yummy.

[@TheCajunChef]

[@kelliewaring9158]

I make a stew with potatoes and boiled eggs and serve it over rice. That sounds great!!😋

[@mizlandry]

been in california 23 years and got the envie for meatball stew

[@TheCajunChef]

Meatball stew is so good! Funny how we never lose that taste

[@mizlandry]

@@TheCajunChef mine came out good and I pretty much followed yours. My mama would add turnips to hers.

[@mizlandry]

@@TheCajunChef This recipe was really well written and the video was great instruction. I'm passing it to all my friends!

[@mizlandry]

@@TheCajunChef are you still in London? I'm traveling to London with my family end of March. Maybe we'll try out your restaurant!

[@TheCajunChef]

Thank you so very much. I'm really happy you enjoyed it

[@craigm.thompson6686]

By the way, where did you get that flat end laidal?

[@TheCajunChef]

in south Louisiana they sell them. they are called roux spoon

[@xleopardprinty]

I love all your recipes! I've already made a few and it tastes great. I was wondering if you're okay because it's been a while since you uploaded a video. I hope you will share recipes again in the future! 😄 ( sorry for my bad English)

[@TheCajunChef]

I plan on making more pretty soon thank you so much

[@kelliewaring9158]

Your English is just perfect. You have nothing to worry about. 😁❤

[@111Shellz]

this is almost identical to the way i cook meatball stew. the only difference is that I cut up idaho potatoes into cubes, and add it to the stew.

[@TheCajunChef]

that sounds really good too! thanks for sharing

[@doublejbbq42]

made a gumbo this weekend, never made a meatball gumbo, this will be next

[@TheCajunChef]

+doublejbbq great to hear! You will really like it.

[@andrechapman8863]

What is your Cajun seasons

[@TheCajunChef]

It is called Nunus Cajun Seasoning. They do ship if you are wanting to try it. I also like to use slap ya momma or Tony's

[@kathyswisher1213]

would you use the butter if you were making Gumbo?

[@TheCajunChef]

+Kathy Swisher I do not, it is too rich at that point. I have used half butter and oil and it comes out fantastic.

[@elizabethlarose2496]

Hi, I'm looking forward to try this recipe, but I have a question: I suppose the spices mentioned in the meatball mix will all go into the said mix, but what about the spices you add in the stew, once you added the rest of the vegetables, will it be the same amount and the same spices as in the meat mix? Thank you.

[@TheCajunChef]

+Elizabeth Larose the seasoning I added at the end was extra to what you season the meatballs with. I just use my favorite Cajun seasoning. You could use Tony' s or just salt and pepper

[@elizabethlarose2496]

Thank you!

[@Warhammer820]

What happens if you don't use eggs

[@TheCajunChef]

+Brian Smith I find the eggs hold the meatballs together better. If you don't use the eggs it's ok also. They will still hold up good.

[@Lovemyfriends1]

That ru looks watery

[@VanessaHersh]

Is there a printed recipe? I am growing weary of all these videos. Just give me a recipe!

[@TheCajunChef]

+Vanessa Hersh I put all recipes in the description of the video. I make the videos for visual reference. Thanks

[@heatherbartee7660]

Yes except that he skipped part of it.

[@TheCajunChef]

I do apologize for that. I usually add a Cajun seasoning called Nunus but Tony's will work. I always season the gravy and add salt or pepper until it tastes well seasoned. I really do apologize for the inconvenience

[@heatherbartee7660]

Ok in the recipe listing, you did not put in what was the seasoning that you added after the meatballs were in the gravy. Since I had watched it previously, that step was skipped and the food was nasty. It was so bland that we couldn’t even eat it.

[@show_me_your_kitties]

Why not just add seasoning after you tasted it lol

[@Fatherandsoncreations]

🤨

[@craftylishus]

3 tablespoons is not a quarter cup. a quarter cup is 4 tablespoons.

[@TheCajunChef]

+Jessica Perry thanks for pointing that out. I'm not sure what the heck I was thinking. Sorry about that and thanks for setting me straight.

[@melvinatkins998]

I know it’s by looking at it, and the technique you used! But your lighting is terrible! You need better lighting! Also another pro tip? Brown your meatballs first, and never add raw onions! Sauté them down first!

[@sonnier1972]

Meh, still not as good as momma’s

[@louisianagirl4382]

Meatball and water js that's not stew

[@TheCajunChef]

Lol. Ok

[@outlawhook1]

You are so right ..born and raised in Houma Louisiana and by no means that is a a stew our gravy is thicker and when we cut the onions and all we diced them
