Swedish Meatballs

Hello.. Hello? Anyone checking this? Well this is another one of the lovely mother-in-law's recipes. I just made them the other day and my boys loved them. Plus it makes a bunch so you can freeze some for future dinners. Awesome!

Swedish Meatballs

2 lbs lean hamburger
1 lb sausage
2 T. minced onions
1 C bread crumbs
salt and pepper (a little of each)
3 eggs
3 t. allspice
3/4 C canned milk

Mix allspice and bread crumbs together so that it distributes more evenly to the meat. Throw everything together in a big bowl and mix it with your hands until nicely blended. Roll into small balls and place on cookie sheet lined with tin foil. You can put them pretty close together since they actually shrink during cooking. Bake at 325 for 25 mins. They should be brown in color. Drain on paper towels. This should make almost 75 meatballs. I usually use around 25 per dinner and then put 50 more into sandwich bags (25 in each) and throw in the freezer for future dinners.

Gravy:
1 can cream of mushroom soup, water and milk (enough to cover meatballs - I usually throw everything in the crockpot to heat up) simmer sauce for 1/2 hour or so. Thicken with cornstarch - more than normal and then add 1/2 C sour cream.

Serve over mashed potatoes. mmmm.. So yummy!
