Potluck Meatballs
1 egg, beaten
2/3 cup soft bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated onion
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 pound ground beef
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 (10.5 ounce) can condensed beef consomme, undiluted
2. Cooking Directions
In a bowl, combine the first six ingredients; add beef and mix well. Shape into 1-1/4-in. balls. In a skillet over medium heat, brown meatballs; drain. Transfer to a greased 1-1/2-qt. baking dish. Combine the cornstarch and consomme until smooth; add to skillet. Bring to a boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Boil for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over the meatballs. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 50-60 minutes or until no longer pink.
Yield: 10 servings
3. Still Hungry?
I’ve found that these mini meatballs make a hearty, ‘can’t-miss’ appetizer year round. They are always well-received at a potluck, and the only ‘utensil’ I need to supply is toothpicks. They also make a good entree over noodles.
