Norwegian Meatballs

I served it with mashed potatoes and steamed asperagus.

Norwegian Meatballs

from the "Worldwide Ward Cookbook Mom's Best Recipes"

Mel's adapted version:

To make 15 (golf ball or slightly larger sized meatballs) that fits in a 9x13 inch pan

1lb ground beef (I used 80/20)

1/2 C Italian Bread Crumbs (original recipe called for saltine cracker crumbs)

1/2 C oats (my adaptation to add in fiber)

salt and pepper to taste (I just sprinkled some in)

2 eggs

1/2 onion, chopped

2 10.75 oz cans "Chicken and Rice" soup, drained-reserve broth for gravy

1 14.5 oz can chicken broth

1-2 TBS corn starch

Original Recipe that feeds two families:

2 lbs ground beef

2 C saltine crackers (I would do half bread crumbs, half oats if it were me)

3 eggs

1 onion chopped

3 10.75 oz cans "Chicken & Rice" soup, drained; reserve broth for gravy

2 14.5 oz cans chicken broth

2 TBSP corn starch

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, cracker crumbs (or bread crumbs/oats if using my substitution)
