GINGERSNAP MEATBALLS

The unusual and very tasty sauce for these meatballs contains crushed gingersnaps. This is a scaled down adaptation of a recipe that I found in one of my Taste Of Home magazines. I think it is good served with macaroni and cheese and a crisp salad.

Time 3h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 17

Ingredients

1 1/4 cups gingersnaps, crushed
1/2 cup milk
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup butter
1/4 cup flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon garlic, crushed
1 teaspoon thyme
1 bay leaf
salt and pepper
parsley

Steps:

Crush gingersnaps, approximately 20, 2 inch cookies, to make 1 1/4 cups.
In large bowl, combine crushed gingersnaps with milk and egg.
Add ground beef, pork, onion, salt, pepper and allspice. Mix well to combine.
Refrigerate, covered for one hour.
With moistened hands, shape mixture into meatballs, 1 1/2 inches in diameter.
Preheat oven to 325.
In hot butter in large skillet saute meatballs, just enough at one time to cover bottom of skillet, until browned all over. (I have elimanated this step to bake in hot oven until browned).
Remove to a 2 quart greased (pam) oven proof casserole dish as they brown. Pour off drippings to measure 1/4 cup, adding more butter if necessary.
Add drippings back to skillet heat and add flour stirring to make a smooth mixture.
Gradually stir in beef broth and bring mixture to boil, stirring constantly.
Add garlic, thyme and bay leaf, salt and pepper to taste simmer for 5 minutes for flavors to mingle.
Pour over meatballs and bake covered one hour.
Garnish with parsley and serve with noodles.

Tips:

Use fresh ground beef. This will give your meatballs a more tender and flavorful texture.
Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing can make the meatballs tough.
Use a light touch when forming the meatballs. This will help prevent them from becoming too dense.
Brown the meatballs in a hot skillet before simmering them in the sauce. This will help develop their flavor and prevent them from falling apart.
Use a flavorful sauce to simmer the meatballs in. This will help infuse them with flavor.
Serve the meatballs over your favorite pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Conclusion:

Gingersnap meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. They are made with a combination of ground beef, gingersnaps, and a variety of spices. The meatballs are then browned in a skillet and simmered in a flavorful sauce. Gingersnap meatballs can be served over your favorite pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. They are also a great appetizer or party food.
