Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/2 c brown onion, i use texas sweet
1/2 c butter
2 exlarge eggs
4 exlarge egg yolks
1 lb sirloin, ground twice
1/2 lb pork, ground twice
1/4 lb veal, ground twice
2 slice crustless white bread
1/2 c heavy cream
fresh ground pepper
fresh ground nutmeg
salt
ground cayenne pepper

Steps:

1. Soak the bread in the cream for about 2 hours in the refrig.
2. Grind the onions. Or use a food processor to make then very very fine. Almost a paste. Slighty brown the onions in the butter.
3. Mix the meat, onion, bread with cream, spice to taste, and eggs all together until well incorporated. Make small balls the size of walnuts and place them on baking sheets.
4. Bake in a oven set at 350 until slightly brown on top, bottom and sides. Turn off the heat. Remove from cookie sheets and place in a deep pan. Make a mushroom sauce and pour over the meatballs.
5. Serve hot. I have use barbeque sauce with these too when I am too lazy to make a homemade mushroom sauce. Or you can open a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup with a tad of ground nutmeg. (Don't tell my Mom I told you that!)
