Fast Balls ~ Only 4 Ingredients

Yummy meatballs in a savory brown sauce.
Only 4 ingredients!
It's another easy dinners for your repertoire.

If it's quarter to six and you still haven't decided

what to do with that pound of hamburger this one

is going to feed your peeps and make them happy.

This is another gem from Peg Bracken's 

"I Hate To Cook" book. It's in 

her chapter Last-Minute Suppers 

(or this is the story of your life). 

 Only 4 ingredients and you already have them. 

Here's what you do.

Mix the meatball ingredients; ground chuck, 

breadcrumbs and milk. That's it! I used 

seasoned crumbs because that's what I had open.

Don't be tempted (I was, but resisted) to add 

any other seasonings. You'll get plenty of flavor

from the onion soup gravy. Roll them into balls.

I got 24 meatballs. 

Brown them in a large skillet in 1-2 T butter, 

turning gently to brown both sides.

Sprinkle the onion soup over the browned balls.

Add the 1 C water and mix around gently so you

don't break the meatballs. Simmer on low while 

you make rice, noodles, or mashed potatoes. 

I had leftover (planned ahead) mashed potatoes

from earlier in the week. Then I just microwaved

some frozen peas and we had a homey

comfort-food dinner that was so easy.
