Recipe(tried): Swedish Meatballs

Swedish meatball recipe for you-

These are delicious, and could be kept warm in the crockpot.

2 lb very lean hamburger
1 Tbsp. minced onions (dried)
1 cup dry bread crumbs
1/2 cup WHOLE milk
2 tsp. salt & pepper to taste (I used less salt)
2 eggs slightly beaten
1 tsp. Worcerstershire sauce
1/4 cup flour
1 tsp Paprika
1 carton sour cream

Add milk to bread crumbs. Combine hamburger, onions, salt, pepper, eggs and Worcestershire sauce. Work in moistened bread crumbs. Shape into meatballs and brown in T-fal skillet or using very little oil. Remove grease (save) while browning meatballs. Try to keep meatballs as round as possible by constantly moving them.

After meat balls have been browned, return most of the fat to the skillet and re-heat. Stir flour and paprika into fat, add 2 cups boiling water. Add sour cream. Return meatballs to casserole, serve with gravy. Cook at moderate heat for one hour.

NOTE: Instead of water, beef broth can be used. The broth has more flavor, but also contains lots of salt, just FYI! You could make your own unsalted broth!

This recipe is wonderful- I made enough for the entire grade school's multi-cultural celebration! They could be done and put in the crock pot on warm to keep them hot, after cooking them at higher temp for one hour. I highly recommend them. I think I used about 1 tsp pepper and 1 added about 1/2 tsp allspice to the meat mixture to give it a more Swedish flavor! Good luck- let me know if you like them!
