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
  1. 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.
  2. In a small mixing bowl, blend sour cream, flour, and caraway seed. Add to the simmering broth and meatballs.
  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 8 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  4. 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.
  5. Sprinkle spaetzle with a mixture of fine breadcrumbs, garlic powder and melted butter.
  6. 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.

Sounds wonderful and I'm looking forward to trying it. I'll let you know what I think. Thank you!


Great recipe, very authentic and just like Mom used to make.


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)


Terrific recipe!
