This recipe for Balkan Meatballs has been a favorite with our family since Mom gave me Mimi Wilson and Mary Beth Lagerborg’s Once-A-Month Cooking<\/em> cookbook in the early 90s. These meatballs are the ultimate comfort food and make a complete meal when paired with green salad.<\/p>\n

Balkan Meatballs<\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/strong>1 egg
\n1\/4 cup milk
\n1\/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
\n3\/4 teaspoon salt
\n3\/4 teaspoon sugar
\n1\/4 teaspoon ginger
\n1\/4 teaspoon nutmeg
\n1\/4 teaspoon allspice
\n1 pound lean ground beef
\n1\/2 pound ground turkey
\n2\/3 cup finely chopped onion
\n1 – 12 ounce package of frozen Reames Noodles
\n2 tablespoons butter
\n1\/4 cup flour
\n2 cups milk<\/p>\n

In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat egg with milk. Mix in dry bread crumb, salt, sugar, and spices. Add beef, turkey and onion. Mix thoroughly. Shape mixture into balls the size of walnuts and place on broiler pan. Broil until lightly browned. Cool.<\/p>\n

Cook noodles according to package directions. At the same time, melt butter in large skillet. Add flour, stirring constantly until mixture is smooth and bubbly. Gradually stir in milk, stirring constantly. Heat to boiling and stir one minute until mixture is thick and smooth. Add meatballs; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes. Serve meatballs over the noodles.<\/p>\n

Note: I usually make a double batch of meatballs and use 1\/3 for supper, then divide the remaining meatballs into two quart freezer bag and put in freezer to use later.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
