"This is so easy and always turns out. Mashed potatoes or rice go well with this dish. You can make this a very elegant or casual dinner. It also reheats well...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1/2 lb lean ground beef

1/2 lb ground pork

1/2 cup dry breadcrumbs (or soak a fresh piece of bread in water a few minutes, squeeze out water and tear up bread into meat)

1 egg

2 -3 tablespoons freshly chopped parsley

1 pinch oregano

flour (for dredging)
•
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil, heated
•
1 package dry onion soup mix

3/4 cup red wine or 1 can beer or 3/4 cup ginger ale (I prefer the first two because the gingerale makes it sweet...children prefer the gingerale)
