Thank you for this recipe!!! I have been trying to find for ages how to make boulettes and bangs!!! It was a tradition we had when i was really young also but I haven't been able to find how to make it from any relatives anymore.

I just made some bullets today. Was good!

Hi from Havre, MT. Me and my kids gonna make it for the first time today and i hope it turns out great :)

I went to Havre for college! Go Northern Lights! And I'm Chippewa so I've been enjoying Bullets, Gullet and Bangs all my life. Usually on New Years Day. From Great Falls mostly but born in ND. My tribe is in ND at Belcourt, ND. Let me know how your meal turned out.

So ironic! I was just sitting here reminiscing on the best homemade bread I've ever ate in my life, and that was the bread of the family of my first born daughter. I remembered they used to call them "bangs" so I go to google and wanted to see why natives call them that and what goes into making them because I remember it being an all day event.. The coincidence though is your comment was the first I seen and the natives I'm speaking of that's where they are from is Belcourt.. Small world at the end of the day. You probably know of them because as I remember everybody knows everybody in Belcourt :) I also remember them making "red soup" it looked like it wasn't nothing but was the best dam soup ever!! If only I could get that recipe, but I would only want the recipe if it came from Belcourt because that sh** was perfected... Blessings to you and yours all the way from Shakopee Minnesota.

I remember making this when I lived in North Dakota but its been so long I couldn't remember how to make it so thanks for posting. I'll be making it for New Years!

Thank you sooo much for posting this... My story is similar to the others... My grandma that lived in North Dakota always made this for new years, I cant wait to try this recipe. Looking forward to continuing her tradition into my family with your recipe. Thank you & happy new year.

I've added some flavor with some spices in the cupboard but this is exactly how I remember how they are made.

Only difference from my momma's Bullets & Bangs is that she prepares the potatoes separately and we add the Bullets over the potatoes... :D Happy New Year!!!

My family has this ever year for New Years Day. When I was little we would go visiting back home ND and everyone would have Bullets, Bangs and Pork roast with yellow mustard and Gullet (it is like a hard crust bread and soft in the inside). Most people seemed to make the potatos and bullets seperate. I use beef boullion to flavor my bullets but the traditional way is just water. La Bonne Anne'e

This is a very good recipe. I added Lipton onion soup mix to the hamburger and the water.

I also grew up with Bullets and Gullet! My momma was from Turtle Mountains. And as the traditions die due to us younger generations not remembering or knowing our roots. Recipes and the foods of old are and will always be kept alive in my family. Oh and don't forget the peanut butter... Miigwetch

I'm from the Turtle Mtn. Band as well. I'm sure we know some of the same people. Richards, Slaters, Petesons , Peltiers, etc. My mom is German mostly but she adopted my Chippewa dad's ways of making this recipe, plus many other dishes. I love going back to Belcourt.

Not indian soup but a metis dish.

I need to make this!

I'm a bad boy and doctored this recipe with tomatoes and sauce and add mixed veggies and macaroni. It's not traditional anymore, I know, but it is good as get out!

That's what we called Hangover soup in the Turtle Mountains! Minus the mixed veg. Not even close to bullets though. Lol

Hello, My husband's family is Chippewa. He remembers Bullets, Gullet, Bangs and another recipe that is like a gravy. It's a liquid and the flour is added in small amounts until it's thickened... could this be a family adaption of the Bullets? I would love to hear from anybody with information on this.

If it had ground beef in it we call it shit on shingles and put it over bread, preferably gullet.

Our family would always make this for New Years but we would use rice instead of potatoes.
