This recipe is my sister-in-law’s.  Try it , it is sooooo good!

• 1 egg slightly beaten
• 1/2 cup milk
• 3/4 cup cracker crumbs.

Mix together and let sit until milk is absorbed.

Add: 1  1/2 lbs hamburger, salt and pepper to tastes and fresh chopped parsley. Mix into 1” balls and brown in a large fry pan.  When cooked, place in a casserole.

Now, you need:

• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 tin of mushrooms (not bits and pieces)reserve liquid
• Saute this in same fry pan until the onions are transparent, then add:
• 1 tin of water
• 1 tin of consomme OR 2 tins beef broth

Cook this until it thickens.  Pour over meatballs and bake for 1 hour in a 350 degree oven.

This dish is heavenly when served with garlic mashed potatoes  and fresh asparagus.
