These have been a staple at my house for as long as I have been married. In fact, I even grew up eating this for dinner probably a couple times a month. Super easy, super yummy. My kids eat it like candy. Tastes even better as leftovers!!
Combine the following ingredients all together and shape into meatballs. Place them in a medium heat skillet. Pick a skillet that you have a lid for. I like to let the bottom of the meatball brown a little and then turn them once.
1 pound ground beef
1 cup minute rice
1 egg slightly beaten
2 tablespoons minced onion (I use dehydrated onions)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
Dash of pepper
1/2 cup milk
After all you meatballs are in the skillet combine the following ingredients together and pour over the meatballs.
1 can cream of mushroom soup
2/3 cup milk (the original recipe calls for water but I think it is much better if you use milk)
1 teaspoon lemon juice.
Make sure all the meatballs have a little bit of soup on or around them. Lower the heat to a simmer and cover for about 15 minutes.
Serve over rice or noodles!
*****Side note, I always double this recipe for my family, 7 people. If you double it, still only use one slightly beaten egg. Doubling makes just the right amount for dinner plus a little leftover for lunch the next day.
Hope you like it as much as my family!!

That sounds so yummy! I would have never thought to include lemon juice in the soup, but it sounds delicious : ) I should try doing that in my hamburger stroganoff too--I've always thought mine was a little bland, and lemon juice would probably be just the thing.
ReplyDeleteI tried these this week. The kids loved them. I liked that they were simple to make.
