Ingredients:

  • 1 lb 10 oz ground beef
  • 5 slices bread (i like them a day old)
  • 1 tsp sugar
  • 3/4 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp allspice (do not forget this, it is what gives the meatballs their distinctive taste!)
  • 1 egg
  • 1 -2 tbsp flour or 1 -2 tbsp cornstarch
  • gravy master (optional)
  • beef , bullion powder (optional)
  • 1 -2 cup water

Directions:

  1. Wet bread with water until moist, but not soggy. I add it by spoonfuls.
  2. Add ground beef and mix.
  3. Add sugar, spices, egg, onion and mix well.
  4. Form mixture into balls. I make them a bit bigger than a walnut. It's a good 2-bite size. I can usually get about 48 meatballs.
  5. In batches, brown meatballs on all sides over medium-low heat.
  6. Set aside meatballs, leaving pan on stove (you'll need it for gravy). I usually put them in a crock pot or chafing dish at this point.
  7. Make Gravy!
  8. Mix flour (or cornstarch) with 1/2 cup water. Mix well, so there are no lumps.
  9. Over low heat, add 1 cup water to pan used to brown meatballs. Stir well, scraping up brown bits from pan.
  10. Add flour/water mixture.
  11. Continue to stir, adding water if needed until thickened. Should be just thick enough to glaze the meatballs.
  12. Can also add 1 teaspoon of Gravy Master (or other browning agent) and/or 1 teaspoon beef bullion powder with flour mixture. I usually do.
  13. When gravy is done, pour over meatballs and enjoy!
