1 1/2 lb. ground beef
1/3 c. Italian seasoning bread crumbs
2 eggs
1/2 c. finely chopped onion
1/2 tsp. salt
Dash pepper
1 can Campbell's golden mushroom soup
1 can Campbell's beef broth
1 qt. canned tomatoes
1/2 tsp. basil leaves
2 cans delmonte mixed vegetables

Mix thoroughly beef, bread crumbs, egg, onion, salt and pepper; shape into meatballs. In large saucepan, brown meatballs in 2 tablespoons shortening. Pour off fat. Add remaining ingredients; bring to slow boil; reduce heat. Cover; simmer 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Next, gradually blend 1/4 cup flour into 1/2 cup water. Slowly stir into stew. Cook, stirring until thickened. (Best if made day before serving.)
