Bork, bork, bork

Okay, so inspired by Jolie’s post about collecting recipes from family members, I tracked down this one for my aunt Delaine’s absolutely kickass Swedish meatballs.  A word about this - I almost didn’t want to know how the proverbial sausage was made, and when I read the whole thing, I was a little horrified.  I hate mushrooms (fungus) and cream of mushroom soup (fungus soup), and I believe that the word sour should never appear anywhere near cream, and please don’t even get me started on wet bread.  Still, I am making a monster batch of these tomorrow.

Aunt D’s Swedish Meatballs of Awesome (recipe is per 1.5 pounds of meat - you will want a ton)

  • 1 lb. ground beef
  • 1/2 pound pork sausage
  • 1 egg
  • 1 piece of bread, soaked in milk (gah)
  • garlic powder
  • onion salt
  • salt and pepper

Combine and roll into little balls of goodness.  She is now baking them (“it is healthier”) for about 30 minutes, I am guessing at 375.

Pour the juices from the baking pan into a saucepan and mix well. And add one can of (gulp) cream of mushroom soup and 1 “thing” (pint? container?  not really sure) of (gulp) sour cream and bring to a bubble.  Add beef stock if needed (not really sure what constitutes need here, but guessing thickness of sauce).  Pour over balls (heh) in an oven-safe container and hold in a warm oven until ready to serve.
