Swedish Meatballs

Swedish Meatballs
Egg noodles
Mixed vegetables

Ingredients:
1 pound of ground beef
½ pound of pork sausage
1 onion, chopped very fine
1 egg
¼ cup of skim milk
½ cup of bread crumbs (I like Progresso brand.)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp nutmeg
2 Tbsp butter
3 Tbsp flour
1 can of evaporated skim milk
½ tsp salt
1 tsp parsley
¼ tsp pepper
¼ tsp nutmeg
Egg noodles
1 package of frozen mixed vegetables

Preparation:
Mix the first eight ingredients together.
Form into 1 inch balls. This recipe makes about 48 meatballs.
Place in a 9x13 inch baking pan and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.
Set the table.
While the meatballs are baking, bring the water to boil for the egg noodles.
Cook the egg noodles according to directions.
Melt the butter in a pan.
Stir in the flour. Gradually add the evaporated milk, stirring to keep it smooth.
If the sauce is too thick, add more milk ¼ cup at a time.
When the sauce reaches a smooth, creamy consistency, add the salt, parsley, pepper and nutmeg.
Keep warm until the noodles are cooked.
Steam the mixed vegetables in the microwave. Sprinkle parsley over the top.
Set aside 12-18 meatballs for a dinner next week.
Stir the remaining meatballs into the sauce and serve over the noodles.


Important! Save 12-18 meatballs and freeze in a plastic freezer bag. They will be used in a Meatball Sandwiches Dinner next week.
