(Not Swedish) Meatballs

St. Paul's Lutheran Church
Warren, Pennsylvania

The following recipe, contributed by Romaine Stanton, is from the St. Paul Lutheran Cookbook, a 1975 project of the Lutheran Church Women, or LCW, as Mom always referred to it.

MEAT BALLS

1 lb. ground beef
1 c. cracker crumbs
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
1 T. parsley flakes
1 t. garlic salt
1/2 c. milk or water (I always use milk)
2 eggs (whisked)
1 1/2 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper

Roll mixture into balls.
Place on cookie sheet (jelly-roll pan).
Bake 20 to 30 miniutes at 350.
Add to spaghetti sauce. (I bake the combined meatballs and sauce for another 20 minutes or so.)

SECRET INGREDIENT
