Beef makes me HAPPY!!!!

I have told you that we are doing meatless dinners with Frenchie. It's really going pretty well. Our kids are easy eaters. They pretty much eat whatever we put in front of them... Though I will admit, last night Frenchie wasn't going to be here for dinner... We had Swedish Meatballs! They tasted sooooo good! Heehee! When she got home from her track dinner she eyed them wistfully. Only a week and a half to go, and she says she doesn't care if she sees another piece of fish for the rest of the year! Haha! I am enjoying discovering new types of fish that I like to eat, but I will admit that sometimes it makes me a little crabby. Today was a good day after having beef last night! LOL!
I am going to share the Swedish Meatball recipe. I have said before that I love recipes from loved ones... This one comes from my Dad's cousin, Sally. Just the thought of her and her family brings a smile to my face and makes it a happy dinner table! Enjoy!
Swedish Meatballs
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 cup bread crumbs (yep, I use store bought)
1 egg
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
2 Tbsp. chopped onion
1 can beef consume (I use Campbell's)
2 T. flour
Combine first 7 ingredients and form into meatballs. Brown in fat (I use olive oil). In a small bowl, mix consume, 1 can cold water and flour. Add to meatballs. Simmer for 1 hour. Serve over egg noodles.
Family favorite! Very easy! Enjoy!
