2 lbs frozen meatballs (any kind from the freezer section of the store)
1 teaspoon dry mustard
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon clove

Categories     Pork

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 onion, finely chopped
1 tablespoon bacon grease
2 lbs ground pork
1 cup celery, diced
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon clove
2 tablespoons flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
4 cups beef broth
3 tablespoons flour

Steps:

  • Brown finely chopped onion in bacon grease.
  • Add to ground pork along with celery, allspice, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • Shape into balls about 1-1/2 inches in diameter.
  • Roll in seasoned flour (flour, salt, and pepper combined).
  • Drop meatballs into boiling beef broth.
  • Reduce temperature; simmer for 1 hour.
  • Thicken remaining stock with browned flour; season to taste.
  • NOTES FOR THE COOK:.
  • You may make beef stock or use boullion cubes and water.
  • Browned flour is something our Mothers and Grandmothers made. It is very simple to make by just stirring several tablespoons of flour back and forth in a dry medium hot skillet. This type of flour will not thicken as quickly as plain flour because the heat breaks down the starch cells. It takes 3 tablespoons of browned flour to do the work of 1-1/2 tablespoons of plain flour. 'Flour may be browned in a hot oven' is what recipe says; I don't know about that; I think it could burn pretty easy.
