Directions
From: Sue Schafer <Shilobill@...> Date: Sat, 17 Aug 1996 21:23:51 -0400 This recipe comes from a cookbook published years ago. It contains mostly celebrity recipes that were prepared on the Mike Douglas talk show. I believe this one came from Mike's mother-in-law and it is great.
Saute onion in 1 Tb. butter until transparent. Set aside. Combine milk and egg. Add cracker crumbs and seasonings - set aside until crumbs absorb liquid. Add meat and onions. Mix gently but well. Shape into l inch balls. Saute in ⅓ Cup butter until well browned, turning as necessary.
Remove meatballs from pan and discard drippings. In same pan melt ¼ Cup butter. Add flour, stirring constantly - cook over low heat a few minutes.
Add remaining ingredients, cook and stir until thickened. Add meatballs and simmer 10 minutes, turning several times. Serve with buttered egg noodles.
Serves 8.
