Norwegian Meatballs and Rice image

We love old family recipes and these Norwegian meatballs are no different. The mix of ground beef and pork is quite tasty. They soak up all the delicious flavor of the creamy gravy. Serve this over rice or noodles for a comforting meal.

Categories     Beef

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 slice white bread
3/4 c hot milk
1 lb extra lean, ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork or ground turkey
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp allspice, ground
1/2 c chopped onion
1-2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 Tbsp butter
4 Tbsp all-purpose flour
2 tsp beef boullion base
2 1/2 c boiling water

Steps:

  • 1. In a large bowl, soak the bread in hot milk until absorbed, completely. Add all remaining ingredients; mix well.
  • 2. Shape into 1 inch balls. Brown meatballs in a large non-stick skillet, add a little oil if necessary to keep meatballs from sticking to the pan.
  • 3. Drain; place meatballs in a large casserole dish. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
  • 4. To make the gravy, melt 4 tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in 4 Tbsp all-purpose flour. Mix 2 tsp beef bouillon base into 2 1/2 c boiling water. Mix into flour mixture. Cook and stir until thickened.
  • 5. Pour over the meatballs and bake for 30 minutes.
  • 6. Serve over hot cooked rice or cooked egg noodles.

I'm not a fan of dill, so I omitted it from the recipe. The meatballs were still delicious.

I love that this recipe uses ground turkey. It's a healthier alternative to ground beef, and it still tastes great.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover rice. They're also a great make-ahead meal.

I'm not sure what happened, but my meatballs turned out really tough. I think I might have overcooked them.
