Introduction

Garlic Butter Meatballs are the kind of cozy, irresistible comfort food that fills your kitchen with rich aromas and brings everyone to the table fast. These juicy, perfectly seasoned meatballs simmer in a silky garlic butter sauce that coats every bite with deep flavor. Paired with golden roasted potatoes that crisp beautifully in the oven, this dish offers a satisfying balance of tender, buttery richness and crunchy, warm comfort. What makes it truly special is how simple it is to prepare while still tasting like a restaurant-quality dinner.

Quick tip: avoid overmixing the meatball mixture—this keeps them tender instead of dense.
