Swedish Meatballs

Frozen Swedish Meatballs

Meatballs:

1 lb. ground beef

1 lb ground pork (sausage)

1 1/2 soft bread crumbs

1 c. light cream (half and half or canned milk)

1/2 c. chopped onion

1 egg

1/4 c. chopped parsley

1/2 tsp. salt

1/4 tsp. pepper

1/4 tsp nutmeg

1/4 tsp ginger

Gravy:

2 Tbsp. flour

3/4 c. beef broth

1/4 c. cold water

Soak bread in milk about 5 minutes. Cook onion in 1 tbsp. butter until tender. Combine meats, bread crumbs, onion, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, ginger, and nutmeg. Form balls and brown in 2 tbsp. butter( I use a cookie scoop and place them on a cooling rack with a jelly roll pan underneath and bake them in the oven for 1/2 hour at 350º).

Make gravy by stirring flour into drippings, broth, and water. Add meatballs to gravy. Cook slowly. (I use cream of mushroom soup and milk for gravy).
