I served this at a cook-in awhile back, and got rave reviews. It's a
combination of a couple different recipes with my adaptations. I still
don't know why there's ketchup in the sauce, but I've at least cut it in
half.

Wild Rice Meatball Stroganoff

Recipe By amsel in dis Dress
Serving Size : 20 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : appetizers meatballs/loaves


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1/3 cup wild rice
3/4 cup water -- plus 2 tablespoons
2 pounds lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
2/3 cup minced onion
1/4 teaspoon granulated garlic
2 teaspoons seasoned salt
---Sauce---
1 1/2 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon ketchup
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup flour
1 1/3 cups sour cream

Combine wild rice with water in a 2-quart saucepan. Heat to boiling,
stirring occasionally. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 40-50 minutes.

Combine cooked wild rice, ground beef, onion, garlic, salt and milk; shape
into 1" balls. Arrange in 10x15" jelly roll pan. Bake in a preheated 375
degree oven until lightly browned (about 15 minutes).

Peel and finely chop the garlic. Reserve 1/2 cup of the beef broth. Stir
the remaining broth, the ketchup, salt and garlic together. Heat to boiling
over high heat. Once mixture is boiling, reduce heat just enough so mixture
bubbles gently. Add meatballs. Cover and cook about 10 minutes or until
meatballs are heated through.

Shake the reserved 1/2 cup beef broth and the flour in a tightly covered
jar or container. Gradually stir this mixture into meatball mixture. Heat
to boiling over high heat, stirring constantly. Continue boiling 1 minute,
stirring constantly, until thickened. Reduce heat just enough so mixture
bubbles gently.

Stir in the sour cream. Cook until hot, but do not heat to boiling or the
mixture will curdle.
