a-Saucy Little Balls and Veggies
What a yummy comfort dish. Not difficult to make and it really hits the spot. We had dinner in the living room watching tv and somehow this seemed the perfect choice for such a casual meal. It’s warming, hearty and just plain good. I made rice to go with it but you don’t really need anything extra. A bowl of this will be good alone.

MAKES: 4-5 servings

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 large potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 2 medium carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 1 medium onion or green pepper, sliced
  • salt, to taste
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 egg, lightly beaten
  • 1/4 cup fine breadcrumb
  • 1/3 cup milk
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried marjoram
  • salt
  • oil (for frying)
  • 1 can cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 cup grated cheese, optional

DIRECTIONS:

  • Pre-heat oven to 350°F.
  • Cook the potatoes with the carrots and onion with salt to taste in a little boiling water for five minutes, drain.
  • Mix meat lightly with the egg, crumbs, milk, herbs, and salt to taste.
  • Form meat mixture into balls and gently brown all over in oil, remove from pan.
  • Pour off fat from pan, stir in soup, sour cream and paprika, stir over moderate heat for a minute or two.
  • Spread vegetables over the base of an oven proof dish, spoon the sauce over.
  • Scatter meatballs over the top, cover and bake in a moderate oven for about 40 minutes.

    • OPTIONAL:

  • Scatter 1 cup grated cheese over the top for the last 20 minutes baking time.
