Recipe: Meatballs and Gravy
Taste of Home
Christmas was the time when our family forgot about the food budget and splurged on one special meal. I can still envision Grandmother making dozens of these little meatballs! The spices gives them a taste that makes them authentically Norwegian.
Recipe by Karen Hoylo ~ Duluth, Minnesota
-
Ingredients:
- 1 large egg
- 1/2 cup 2% milk
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Dash pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
- 1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
- 3 to 4 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup beef broth
- 1/2 cup whole milk or half-and-half cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Minced fresh parsley, optional
- In a large bowl, beat the egg, milk, cornstarch, onion, salt, pepper, nutmeg, allspice and ginger. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. meatballs. (Mixture will be very soft. For easier shaping, rinse hands in cold water frequently.)
- In a large skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs in butter, half at a time, for about 10 minutes or until no longer pink. Remove meatballs to paper towels to drain, reserving 1 tablespoon drippings in skillet.
- For gravy, add butter to drippings. Stir in flour. Add broth and milk. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Return meatballs to skillet; heat through on low. Garnish with parsley if desired.
