Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 c bread crumbs finely ground
- 1/3 c milk
- 1/4 c onions minced
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black ground pepper
- 1/2 tsp nutmeg
- 2 tbs butter
- 2 tbs all purpose flour
- 1 c hot water
- 1 beef bouillon cube
- 1/2 c light cream
- mashed potatoes
- 1 tbs lingonberry sauce
Instructions
- Soak breadcrumbs in milk with ground beef
- Add diced onion, egg and seasonings and mix
- In a skillet melt butter (you may opt out on the butter…but it does add a nice flavor)
- Form 1/2 inch meat balls and add to to pan to brown
- While meatballs are cooking, make your favorite mashed potatoes and set aside
- Remove meatballs from pan. Leave fat in pan (I didn’t have any because I used 93% lean ground beef…so that butter came in handy!) Stir in flour. Add water and bouillon cube (I used 2 to make up for the lost flavor from the lack of excess fat).
- Add cream and stir until incorporated. Cook until cream is smooth and thickened. Add meatballs, cover and simmer for 15 minutes.
- Top noodles with meatballs and gravy sauce AND a dollop of lingonberry sauce (or substitute with grape jelly) *this picture does not make the dish look appealing, but believe me it is delicious!
