Swedish Meat Balls
These are also very good in a mushroom wine sauce. That is how I serve them for a party appitizer. Either way they are great for in a chafing dish.
1 cup fine dry bread crumbs, divided
1 pound ground round steak
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup mashed potatoes
1 egg, beaten
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground cloves
1/8 teaspoon ground ginger.
3 tablespoons butter
1 beef bullion cube
1 cup water
2 tablespoons flour
1 cup cream
Lightly mix 1/2 cup bread crumbs, the meat, potatoes, egg, salt, brown sugar and all the spices.
Shape into 1 inch balls and roll in the remaining bread crumbs. Brown in the butter. Remove from pan as they brown and set aside.
When all are browned, in the skillet, blend 1 tablespoon flour, stir for one minute. Add water and bullion cube. Heat until cube dissolves and mixture bubbles. Stirring constantly, add 1 cup cream. Return the meat balls to the skillet and cover. Simmer 30 minutes.
Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
