  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp ginger
  • ½ tsp nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp allspice

For Gravy

Instructions
 

Meatballs

  • Preheat the oven to 425.
  • Mix the hamburger, sausage, and eggs well in a big bowl.
  • Make a well in the meats.
  • Add the bread crumbs.
  • Add the spices and mix it all up really well.
  • Make them into meatballs. I made mine into big ones. Take some meat like you are making a hamburger into your hand and press it into a ball.
  • 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..

  • Pour over the meatballs.
  • Serve with mashed potatoes and green beans and a large tablespoon full of Lingonberry or red current jelly.
