Opa!

Let’s travel to Greece tonight and enjoy their aromatic and delicious flavors right in our kitchen stove with this easy one pot dinner.

That’s right, everything cooks using only one pan, the protein, starch and veggies. Less mess, less cleanup, and more family time.

For this One Pot Greek Meatballs, I used a cast iron pan since it browns beautifully, it’s oven safe, and distributes the heat evenly. If you don’t have one, use your heaviest stainless steel pan.
