1 onion, finely chopped
1 lb. ground beef
1/2 lb. ground pork
1/2 lb. ground veal
2 slices bread, soaked in 1 beaten egg and a little milk
1 can brown gravy or mushroom gravy
1/2 c. sour cream

Saute onion in a little butter. Combine onion, meat, bread, dash of salt, pepper and paprika. Mix well. Form balls. Brown in pan or on cookie sheets at 325 degrees. Put meatballs in gravy and heat thoroughly. Ten minutes before serving, add sour cream to gravy. Serve over noodles.

Party tip: keep meatballs warm in crock pot and serve buffet style.

Preparing for a buffet dinner when you have 6 children can be a challenge. My mom would make these meatballs for very special occasions when she wanted her buffet foods to be fancy and delicious, yet not too time consuming.
