Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients (Note: two separate calls for milk in the ingredient list.):

• 5 lbs of ground meat ( beef and pork, half and half -- "I don't use any veal because I object to the treatment of veal calves" [I assume that's Nelle -- Editor])
• 4 eggs
• 2 large onions, chopped
• 1 Tbsp salt
• 1 tsp pepper (or more)
• 2 tsp ground allspice
• 1 tsp nutmeg
• 1/2 tsp ground cloves
• 2 Tbsp corn starch
• 3 cups milk
• 3 cups fine bread crumbs
• 3 to 4 cans beef broth (10.5 oz cans) -- No garlic!
• 1.5 cups whole milk for gravy.

Moves:

• Mix ground meat, eggs, onion, spices, cornstarch, 3 cups milk and crumbs together.
• Form into balls with ice cream scoop and place on jelly roll pan.
• Brown in 350^o oven.
• Place meatballs in casserole. Pour beef broth over and bake at 350^o about 1.5 hours.
• Transfer meatballs to another casserole. Use the juice and whole milk to make gravy, thickening with flour.

Comments:

• Lots, and lots of left overs!
• Nelle triples the recipe to make meatballs for the Cline reunion.
