SWEDISH MEATBALLS

If you like Swedish Meatballs, this is a pretty good recipe. (I'm not a huge fan of swedish meatballs, and I'll eat them.)



INGREDIENTS:

*1 egg, beaten

*1/4 c. milk

*3/4 c. breadcrumbs

*1/2 c. finely chopped onion (one small onion)

-I grate mine with a large cheese grater because I don't like the crunch

- You can also use dried minced onion

*1/4 c. fresh chopped parsley

- again, you can also use dried, just use half the amount, and make sure you rub it between your palms to get the flavor out.

*1/4 tsp. black pepper

*sprinkle italian seasoning

*1/4 tsp. salt

* a few dashes of worshestershire sauce

*1/2 lb. ground beef

*1/2 lb. ground pork

- I usually just use one pound of ground beef.

- You can also use ground turkey or chicken if you'd rather.

*1 TB butter

*2 tsp instant beef boullion granules

*2 cups milk

*1/2 cup beef broth

*3 cups hot cooked noodles- I use egg noodles.


*Mix together- egg, milk, breadcrumbs, onion, spices.

*Add to meat. Mix well
* Shape into teaspoon size meatballs.

*In a large skillet cook half the meatballs at a time, in hot butter, over medium heat. This will take about ten minutes.

*Remove meatballs from skillet, set reserving drippings, and measure two tablespoons for your sauce. If you don't have enough use olive oil or cooking oil to make two tablespoons.

*Stir flour, boullion granules, salt and pepper into your two tablespoons of drippings. Cook one minute, wisking constantly.

*Add in your two cups milk and 1/2 c. broth. Stir until bubbly and thickened. It will thicken more as it cools.

*Return meatballs to sauce, and heat through.

*Serve over noodles.

- I made these last night, and thought that the sauce recipe didnt make enough to cover the noodles, so if you like sauce, double it.

-This will serve around 5 or 6 people, and takes about 45 minutes to make from start to finish.
