Number Of Ingredients 13

6 tablespoons chopped onions

3 slices bread, torn into small pieces
3 tablespoons milk
1 1/2 teaspoons prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt
3 -5 dashes black pepper
1 1/2 lbs lean ground beef
1 (8 ounce) can mushroom stems and pieces, undrained
6 store bought gingersnap cookies, crushed with a rolling pin

Steps:

In a skillet, saute' onion in butter until tender.
Transfer to a bowl; add the torn bread, milk, mustard, salt and pepper.
Add beef and mix well.
Shape into (about 29) 1-1/4 inch size meatballs.
Place meatballs in a greased 2-1/2 quart rectangular baking dish.
In a small saucepan, add the mushrooms, crushed gingersnaps, water, brown sugar and bouillon granules.
Bring to a boil over medium heat, (stirring constantly) until sauce is slightly thickened.
Pour sauce over meatballs.

Note: I used Stauffer's Original Recipe Ginger Snaps, but you can also use the Rippin Good Brand. Each cookie is about 2-1/4 inch in size.
