SWEDISH MEATBALLS 
3/4 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground veal
1/4 lb. ground pork
1 1/2 c. bread crumbs
1 c. light cream
1/2 c. chopped onions
1 tbsp. butter
1 egg
1/4 c. finely snipped parsley
1 1/4 tsp. salt
Dash of pepper
Dash of ground ginger
Dash of ground nutmeg
1 pkg. onion gravy

Have meats ground together twice. Soak bread crumbs in cream for 5 minutes. Cook onion in 1 tablespoon butter until tender. Mix meats, crumb mixture, onion, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, ginger and nutmeg. Beat 5 minutes at medium speed on electric mixer or mix by hand until well combined. Mixture will be soft. For easier shaping, chill mixture first and then shape into 1 1/2 inch balls. Place meat balls on cookie sheet and brown in 350 degree oven for 20 minutes.

For gravy, use 1 package of onion gravy mix. Follow directions on package. Add some of the drippings from the meatballs. Add meatballs. Cover and cook slowly about 30 minutes, basting occasionally. Makes 30-40 meatballs.
