Satisfying!

It's not a hungarian meatball. Our meatball is totally different!

Excellent! Though we usually use gnocchi in our Hungarian meals instead of egg noodles, this still came out fabulous! Though I didn't include the celery in it, I just love it! I heaved a sigh of relief when DH ate a lot of the meatballs. I cooked 1 pack of egg noodles in it so the soup became a bit saucy. But oh my, it's just so good. Buttering the egg noodles was new to me too and it's very tasty. Also, the caraway seeds gave a very nice flavor to the beefy stew . Very much enjoyed. Thank you very much for sharing this keeper! Made for PF's Belly Warmers.

I'm a med school student that loves to cook. You might have guessed though that being a college student doesn't give me a whole lot of money to spend on ingredients and such. So instead, whenever I go home, I try to cook something new for parents.
