Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 onion
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ cup beef stock
- 1 tablespoon flour
- ½ cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 egg
Instructions
- Chop the onion and put it in a mixing bowl. Add the breadcrumbs and some salt and pepper and mix briefly. Add the minced meat and egg and knead quickly.
- Divide the minced meat into 30 pieces and form into small meatballs.
- Melt the butter in a skillet and cook the meatballs for about 8 minutes until done. It is best to do this in several batches. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside.
- Add the flour to the remaining fat and fry for 1-2 minutes. Pour the milk into the flour and stir until all is absorbed.
- Pour the stock into the pan and let it simmer while stirring until the sauce has the desired thickness. If the sauce is still too thick, you can add some more water.
- Put the meatballs back in the pan and serve immediately with some jam and mashed potatoes.
