realsorienI'm making sorta-Swedish meatballs and gravy with mashed potatoes tonight!
3# hamburger (85% lean)
2 eggs (grade AA large)
3 medium (just bigger than your palm) yellow onions
1 cup bella bread crumbs (crumbled saltine crackers work too- use less salt then!)
6 shakes Mrs. Dash (yellow cap)
Other spices to taste- I used salt, black and white pepper, and just a tiny bit of cayenne.
1/4 cup chives
1/4 cup dried parsley
chop the onions fine and mix all of the above by hand in a large bowl. Make 1" balls of the mix and fry til the surface is browned, turning for even browning. Put the browned meatballs in a casserole or other oven-safe pan, and preheat the oven to 350 degrees f.
Sweep the bits of burned onion out of the pan (there WILL be some), but keep the leftover oil. In this oil brown one more finely chopped onion til it clears and gets just a touch of color. Put three cans of cream of mushroom soup into the pan with 1 1/2 cans of water,and spice to taste. Mix it well and heat through, then pour this over the meatballs in the casserole. Cover and place in the oven for 30 minutes or so, checking to make sure the meatballs are cooked through.
For the mashed potatoes, I use 1 1/2 standard russet potatoes per serving, with butter and milk added as you mash them- I'd be more specific, but the potatoes are really kind-of an 'eyeball it' thing. :)
