Recipe: Peg Bracken's Speed Balls (meatballs, I Hate to Cook Book, 1960)

Julie, I don't know if these are the ones you made but they are in the "I Hate to Cook" book. My book has yellow pages is falling apart but is still readable.

SPEED BALLS

Mix up:
1 pound hamburger
1/2 cup bread crumbs, hard or soft
1/2 cup milk
no seasoning
Shape it into small balls and brown them in butter.

Next stir in:
1 packet onion-soup mix
1 cup water
and mix it around gently so you don't break the meatballs.

Then simmer it, while you cook quick brown rice to serve it on.

Not exactly gourmet food but probably pretty good.
