OLD-FASHIONED SAUSAGE BALL STEW 
1 lb. pork sausage meat
1/2 c. fine corn flake or bread crumbs
3 tbsp. finely chopped onion
1 egg, beaten
1 tbsp. shortening
2 tbsp. flour
1 1/2 tsp. salt
2 c. milk
4 c. sliced zucchini
1 med. tomato, cut in thin wedges
2 c. seasoned hot mashed potatoes
Paprika

Combine pork sausage meat, crumbs, onion and egg; mix well. Divide meat into 12 equal portions; shape each portion into a ball. Brown meat well in shortening in fry pan over moderate heat; turn balls as needed to brown evenly. Remove sausage balls from fry pan; keep warm.

Pour all but 2 tablespoons of drippings from pan. Add flour and salt; mix well. Add milk; cook, stirring constantly, until thickened. Return sausage balls to pan; cover and cook slowly until meat is done, about 30 minutes, stirring gently 3 or 4 times. Add zucchini and tomato; mix gently.

Cover; cook just until zucchini is tender, about 15 minutes. Spoon potatoes around edge of stew. Sprinkle with paprika. Place under broiler to heat and lightly brown potatoes. (If handle of fry pan is not heat proof handle, wrap it with aluminum foil). Makes 4 to 6 servings.
