Gourmet Swedish Meatballs Ingredients:
1lb chop meat |
1 can 8oz - auturo gourmet sauce (meatless w/ mushrooms) |
1 can whole cranberry sauce |
2 eggs |
1 cup romano cheese |
1/2 cup breadcrumbs |
1/4 cup parsley flakes or fresh parsley |
1/2 tsp onion salt |
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 1-2 cloves fresh garlic |
salt and pepper |
* auturo gourmet sauce - i find in various stores - shop-rite, a&p. it's usually down the tomato sauce isle. it's a small, red can with a little gourmet guy on the label. |
Directions:
1. Mix eggs, breadcrumbs, Romano cheese, parsley flakes, onion salt, garlic power, and salt and pepper.
2. Add chop meat.
3. Mix well.
4. In a large pot over medium heat, add Auturo Gourmet Sauce and Cranberry Sauce (it won't look like much, but it melts down into more of a liquid and will be enough to cook all of the meatballs).
5. Make small meatballs (about 1/2 inch in diameter) and drop them raw into the sauce. They will be much higher than the amount of sauce.
6. Cover and cook on low - medium heat for half hour.
7. DO NOT STIR w/ a SPOON, as the meatballs will be crushed.
8. Gently shake the pot around to move the meatballs.
9. Once they've cooked for 1/2 hour, you can stir them as usual.
10. Cook for at least another 1/2 hour to 45 minutes.
11. They seem to taste better after you ahve heated them up for a second time. Make them early and re-heat before actually serving.
12. This recipe is for 1lb of chop meat. I, of course, make more! Whenever there are leftovers, I serve to my family over large egg noodles.
