German American Caraway Meat Balls Recipe

Add Step-by-Step Photos	Notyourmomma / All my dishes 2 years, 3 months ago Something my mother-in-law would make for my husband when he was a kid. He asks for it at least once a month. So, lets see I've made it at least 240 times for the man. Hmmm, he still likes it. What's that old saying "A way to a man's heart is....?"... More Prep:15m Cook:40m Servings:4	Notyourmomm

Ingredients

1 lb. of ground beef (or as Grossmom would do; 1/2 lb. ground veal and 1/2 lb. of ground sirloin)

1/4 cup of dry bread crumbs

1 teaspoon of salt

1/2 teaspoon of white pepper

1/4 teaspoon of poultry seasoning

1 tablespoon of chopped parsley

1/4 cup of milk

1 egg

2 Tablespoons of canola oil

1 1/2 cups of beef broth, low sodium

4 ounces of sliced fresh button mushrooms

1/2 of white onion minced

1/8 cup of white wine

1 cup of sour cream

1 tablespoons of flour

1/2 to one whole teaspoon of caraway seeds (your taste)

Directions

Combine beef and veal with bread crumbs, seasonings, milk and egg; mix lightly.

Shape into 24 1 1/2 inch balls.

Brown slowly on all sides in hot oil, shaking the pan frequently.

Remove meat balls to a platter, leaving drippings behind.

Tent with foil to keep warm.

In pan, cook mushrooms and onions until very limp but not brown.

Deglaze with a splash of wine (vermouth in a pinch).

Add meat balls back in the pan,

Cover and simmer 30 minutes.

Stir the flour and the caraway seeds into a third of the cup of the sour cream. Stir vigorously.

Blend all the sourcream into the broth/wine mixture and bring to a bubble and cook for three minutes to cook out the raw flour taste and the sauce thickens.

Serve over spatzle or egg noodles.
