1 lb. ground beef
1 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. milk
1 egg
1 tsp. salt
1/8 tsp. allspice
1/8 tsp. cloves
1 lb. finely ground hamburger

Soften bread crumbs in milk. Add beaten egg, meat and seasonings. Mix lightly. Make small balls with as little pressing as possible and brown quickly in 2 tablespoons hot fat. Remove meatballs to casserole and make gravy by adding 1 1/2 tablespoons flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and dash of pepper. Add 1 1/2 cups hot water. Stir until thickened. Pour gravy over meatballs. Cover and bake slowly at 325 degrees for 1 hour.
