Pour tomato soup and these 2 ingredients over raw ground beef into a baking dish for a family dinner that disappears in seconds

To keep this close to the classic 4-ingredient Amish porcupine style, the base recipe stays simple, but there are easy ways to tweak it. For a slightly richer sauce, swap some of the water for beef broth or add a splash of milk or cream. If your family likes a little sweetness, stir a tablespoon of brown sugar or a drizzle of honey into the tomato soup before pouring it over the meatballs.

For extra flavor without much effort, add a teaspoon of dried Italian seasoning, onion powder, or garlic powder to the meat mixture. You can also use leaner ground beef or a mix of ground beef and ground turkey if you prefer. If you need to stretch the meal further, add a few more meatballs and a third can of tomato soup with extra water to keep everything covered.

Leftovers reheat well in the oven or microwave with a splash of water or broth to loosen the sauce, and they’re great tucked into rolls for a quick meatball sandwich the next day.
