This is the recipe that really spawned my love for cooking. The family had gone to Walt Disney World for vacation a few years back and we had taken our daughter Maddie to Akershus for the Princess lunch (she got to meet all the princess while wearing her Snow White dress lol it was a great time). When I looked over the menu there was one dish I couldn’t pronounce.. heck I couldn’t even come close to knowing what it said so I decided to order it. Well I loved it so much I went on a quest to figure out how to recreate that specific recipe…. and BOOM! I got pretty darn close =) So if you love Walt Disney Worlds Kjottkaker here it is!

Walt Disney World; Epcot Center’s Akershus Kjottkaker Recipe ((yup that’s a mouth full!) Norwegian Meatballs)
Ingredients
For Meatballs

- 1 tsp salt

Instructions
Meatballs
- Preheat the oven to 425.

- Make a well in the meats.
- Add the bread crumbs.

- Put them on an un-greased jelly roll pan (a cookie sheet with sides.)
- Bake for 20 minutes.
Gravy
- Once the meatballs are out of the oven, it's time to make the gravy.
- Melt the butter with the onions in a deep, large skillet on medium heat. If you don't have one large enough you can use 2. Because of this you will end up using 4 tbsp of butter, 2 in each skillet. Then half the onion in each skillet.
- Add beef broth and milk
- Slowly stir in the flour mixing as not to get clumps..
- Slowly stir in the flour mixing as not to get clumps..
