AUNT BEE'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place the meat in a large bowl. Grate the onions into the meat.
• Stir together bread or bread crumbs with ¼ cup of half-and-half, just until moistened.
• Add eggs, soaked bread crumbs, sugar, salt, and pepper to the beef mixture. Use your hands or a fork to gently combine, being careful not to over-mix the meat.
• Use a medium (1 ½ tablespoon) scoop to shape the meat into balls. Each meatball will be about the size of a golf ball. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet so that they will be ready to fry.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 teaspoon of oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat. When the butter melts, sauté meatballs in batches, turning while they cook so that all sides are evenly browned and the meat is cooked through (about 8-10 minutes per batch). Be careful not to overcrowd the pan.
• Repeat until all meatballs are cooked. Remove meatballs to a baking sheet lined with paper towels, and cover loosely with foil to keep warm while you prepare the sauce.

Cook for 2 mins, then slowly whisk in the stock. Keep whisking until it is a thick gravy, then return the meatballs to the pan and heat through. Sprinkle with dill and serve with cranberry jelly, greens and mash.
