- Yields:
-
24 Meatballs
- Serves:
- 4
ingredients
- 1⁄2 cup ground beef
- 1⁄2 cup ground pork
- 1 medium onion (grated)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1⁄4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 4 tablespoons flour
directions
- Combine all ingredients (except flour); blend thoroughly. Shape into small balls the size of a large marble.
- Roll in flour, drop into your simmering soup and simmer for 20 minutes.
- Notes: This is admittedly done on a small scale, but easily doubled. The yield will depend on how faithful you are to size. I like to use 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce to add smoky flavor + darker color to the meat mixture, but you can also add 1-2 tbsp of Pepperidge Farm dressing mix to enhance the flavor & stretch the yield. It's a tiny recipe w/lots of versatility!

I made these tiny meatballs and added them to a pot of vegetable soup. I did find the meat mixture was very soft and felt I needed to add breadcrumbs to help bind them, so I increased the seasoning a bit. I plan to make another batch and freeze to keep on hand for busy nights when I need to throw a meal together quickly. Thank you for sharing your recipe!

I am an American transplanted from Dallas to Iceland by marriage to a native Icelander & I retired to become his "Kitchen Queen". We love to entertain our family & friends, so I have an eclectic collection of recipes. I especially love simple, easy-fix, flexible & make-ahead recipes - BUT also like challenging myself on occasion. I enjoy baking & food photography. I am devoted to the "More is Always Better Principle" & apply it liberally to bacon, butter & garlic. I can have ingredient issues due to availability here in Iceland & my DH is medically diet-restricted from some ingredients as well. Either situation might require me to modify a recipe, but I will do my best to be true to your recipes & fair/honest in my reviews. Mary Pat (aka twissis)
