Ingredients

1 lb lean ground beef

1 egg

1/2 C. dry breadcrumbs

2 T. butter

1/2 T. tomato ketchup

salt & pepper

nutmeg

3 cloves

1 bay leaf

Directions

Combine the meat with egg, bread crumbs, a pinch of nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste. Mix well.

Form 4 balls of the beef mix. Heat the butter on medium and fry the meatballs until golden brown on all sides.

Add the ketchup, bay leaf, cloves to the pan and cover. Turn down the heat and simmer for 10 minutes. The meatballs are done when they are solid to the touch.

My mother and mother-in-law made meatballs very similar to your recipe. My mother-in-law added juniper berries to the saucepan. Mmmmmmmmmm, a nice addition!
