No, no, no! Never Swedish meatballs! <waving arms willdly in the
air> The Norwegian ones are far more flavorful. LOL!

I've never understood why the Swedish ones have caught on so strongly
when much better ones are sitting right around the corner.

Norwegian Meatballs

Recipe By amsel
Serving Size : 0 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : main dishes meatballs-loaves


Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
2 1/2 pounds ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cloves
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon sugar
1 tablespoon corn starch
1 large egg

1. Mix all ingredients well.
2. Roll into small balls. Brown in butter in a dutch oven or large
saucepan.
3. Cover with water and simmer for two hours on stovetop or in 350°F
oven.
4. Serve over egg noodles.

Note: I like to thicken the sauce by adding a slurry of cornstarch
and cold water toward the end of cooking. I've recently confirmed
with my native Norwegian neighbor that she thickens hers, too.
