Kat's Notes:

This recipe was passed down from my grandma and always is a home run with guests and family, alike.

Comments from the Test Kitchen: Kitchen Crew

The mix of the meat in these meatballs is really good.  They would be good on rice or noodles. 

Keep an eye on the amount of salt you use. I like a little less than Kat calls for... but season to your taste!

 

Directions

1
In a large bowl, soak the bread in hot milk until absorbed, completely. Add all remaining ingredients; mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Brown meatballs in a large non stick skillet, add a little oil if necessary to keep meatballs from sicking to the pan.
2
Drain; place meatballs in a large casserole dish. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
3
to make the Gravy: melt 4 tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in 4 Tbsp all purpose flour. Mix 2 tsp beef bouillon base into 2 1/2 c boiling water, mix into flour mixture. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour over the meatballs and bake for 30 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice or cooked egg noodles.

I finally made these last night. Easy but time-consuming, and the recipe could use a little correction - it says to mix ALL remaining ingredients together before browning the meatballs, then I read on to find that the last 4 items aren't supposed to be mixed in, but used to make gravy. It's a good thing I hadn't taken that first part literally or I would have had "Meatball Soup" once I added 2 cups of water. Just a LITTLE sloppy. :D
