Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 c milk
1 c soft bread crumbs
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 Tbsp worcestershire sauce
1 medium onion, finely chopped
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp ground cloves
3/4 lb lean ground beef
3/4 lb ground pork
2 Tbsp oil
1/2 tsp beef bouillion paste, or granules
1/2 c boiling water
3 Tbsp flour
1 c plum jam
1/2 c chili sauce

Steps:

1. In a large bowl, pour milk over bread crumbs; let stand for 10 minutes. Add the egg, Worcestershire sauce, onion, salt, pepper and cloves. Crumble beef and pork over mixture and mix well (mixture will be soft). ( I sometimes add some flour if too soft) Shape into 1-in. balls.
2. In a large skillet, brown meatballs in oil in batches. Drain on paper towels. Place in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, dissolve bouillon in water. Stir flour into pan drippings until blended; add the bouillon mixture, jam and chili sauce. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 1-2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over meatballs.
4. Cover and bake at 350° for 30-45 minutes or until cooked through. I always double the batch, and never any leftovers.
