great-grandma's norwegian meatballs and gravy recipe
y'all remember that post about the person who fell out w their mom and posted her meatloaf recipe as revenge? well,
^ THIS is my mom's copy of my family's christmas eve norwegian meatballs recipe. i don't even celebrate christmas anymore, lol
don't worry, i transcribed and edited that mess into something more legible. here it is, under the cut:
recommended tools:
2 mixing bowls
whisk/beater
frying pan
spatula
ingredients:
12 tbsp very finely chopped onion
8 tbsp butter
2 lb ground beef
3/4 lb ground pork
1 cup bread crumbs
1 cup milk
2 eggs
4 tsp sugar
2 1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp allspice
steps:
premix sugar, salt, nutmeg, and allspice
beat eggs
brown onions in half the butter
in a separate bowl from the sugar, mix the browned onions with beef, pork, bread crumbs, milk, and eggs. don't overmix, or the meat will become tough.
add sugar mixture to meat mixture, still taking care not to over-mix
shape meat mixture into 1 inch balls
heat the rest of the butter at a low temperature
add meatballs and brown over medium heat. shake the pan to keep meatballs round and ensure even cooking. serve alongside mashed potatoes, lefse, and søtsuppe!
