Swedish Meatballs are one of my favorite foods that I grew up on.
Ingredients:
1 small diced onion
2 lbs hamburger meat
2 eggs
1 cup Italian bread crumbs homemade
2 cup cream of mushroom soup homemade (reserve 1/4 cup)
In a nonstick skillet, saute your diced onions.
When done, mix thoroughly the diced onions, hamburger meat, eggs, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup cream of mushroom soup.
To make the meat drippings for the gravy, I cooked a few of the meatballs in the skillet, to be made later.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Line a large jelly roll pan with foil and coat with oil to prevent sticking. I've had better luck coating with oil versus a nonstick cooking spray.
With the rest of the meat, I portioned all onto prepared pan, using an ice cream scoop.
Bake for 25-30 minutes. Remove from oven and let drain on paper towels.
To make the gravy, I removed all excess oil, but about a couple tablespoons, that was reserved from earlier. I stirred a tablespoon of flour into the oil, then gradually stirred in the remaining 1 3/4 cup cream of mushroom soup. Stir over medium heat, removing all lumps. Bring to a boil. Then, remove from heat.
Pour gravy over meatballs. Serve with your favorite sides.
