MOM'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Mix beef, pork, and veal together in a bowl with the onions, egg, white bread broken up into small pieces, and sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball or a little smaller.
• Saute meatballs in melted margarine and the oil until browned.
• Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
• Add flour to the grease in the pan(to make a roux) and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds.
• Add 1/2 of the carton of half and half, the gravy master, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir until it starts to thicken, and then add meatballs back to the pan.
• Simmer on low for 40 minutes.
• As it thickens more, you can add the rest of the half and half as needed. (I usually end up adding the rest little by little because I like it saucey and because some of the sauce cooks away while simmering.).
• Re-season with salt and pepper to your taste, before serving on top of cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Saute onions in 3 T. butter. Let cool a bit and lightly mix the meat, onions, bread crumbs, eggs, 1 1/2 cups of the cream. salt, pepper, nutmeg and parsley. Form into meatballs, about the size of a small walnut, place on cookie trays, and bake at 375 for 20-25 mn.
• Put in two casseroles, and make the cream gravy.
• Melt the 1/4 cup butter in a large, heavy saucepan Add the 1/4 cup flour, a touch more salt and pepper, cook for at least one minute. Do not brown. Gradually add the remaining cream, stirring continuously, until thickened. I like to add some Kitchen Bouquet for more flavor and some color at this point.
• Pour over the meatballs.
• Note: At this point, we generally freeze them and then defrost and bake for an hour or so on Christmas, as this recipe makes a lot of meatballs, so it is time consuming and who wants to do all that on the day of, right?.
• Also, you can freeze the cooked meatballs alone, and make the gravy later and pour it over the meatballs right before you bake them.
