Ingredients

German Meatball Ingredients:

1 lb. Ground Beef

1 whole Egg

1/4 cup fine dry Breadcrumbs

1/4 cup Milk

1 Tbs. fresh Parsley, chopped

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/4 tsp. Poultry Seasoning

Dash of Black Pepper

Sauce Ingredients:

1 10-oz. cans Beef Broth

1 cup diced mushrooms

1/2 cup Onion, chopped

1 cup Sour Cream

1 Tbs. All-purpose Flour

1/2 to 1 tsp. Caraway Seeds

Spaetzle Ingredients:

2 cups All-purpose Flour

1 tsp. Salt

2 whole Eggs, well beaten

1/2 cup Milk

Topping Ingredients:

1/4 cup Fine Dry Breadcrumbs

2 Tbs. Butter or Margarine, melted

1 tsp garlic powder

Directions

Begin with the German meatballs: Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and shape into about 24 (1 1/2-inch round) meatballs. Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat, making sure to drain well as you cook the meaty mixture. Add beef broth, mushrooms, and onion. Simmer, covered, for about 30 minutes.

In a small mixing bowl, blend sour cream, flour, and caraway seed. Add to the simmering broth and meatballs.

Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.

Meanwhile, prepare the spaetzle by sifting together the flour and salt in a large mixing bowl. Add the eggs and milk and beat well. Place in a coarse-sieved colander and sieve (pushing the batter through the holes of the colander) directly over a rapidly boiling pot of lightly salted water. Cook for about 5 minutes, drain.

Sprinkle spaetzle with a mixture of fine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter.

Place a large portion of the spaetzle on a serving platter and hollow out a well in the center. Spoon meatballs and sauce in the center of the spaetzle and serve warm.

Reminds me...I made a German dinner last week for friends and made Spaetzle with Rouladen, red cabbage,homemade applesauce and cottage dill bread. I cooked for 3 days! (Believe it or not, I have a spaetzle maker...it's a flukie thing). This recipe looks comfy and good...will bookmark for winter as now the temperature here is in the 80's and 90's. (No, I'm not bragging)
