Beef Balls Supreme

Here is another recipe I got from my mom. They are slightly more work then your usual hamburger balls as from beginning to end it takes approx. 1 hour to prepare, but they are so worth the effort. The sauce is good over rice or mashed potatoes.

Beef Balls Supreme

1 egg slightly beaten
1/2c milk
1/2c bread crumbs
1/2T season salt
1/2t pepper
1 1/2T parsley
1 1/2 ground beef
1/3c butter or margarine or oil
1 large onion
1 can sliced mushrooms (save the juice)
1T paprika
3T flour
1 can beef broth

Soak egg, milk and bread crumbs until it resembles a paste. NOTE: if you are using 1lb of meat instead, reduce milk and bread crumbs to 1/3c.

Add seasonings and ground beef to the bread paste. Form into large balls. If it's too goopy to form balls, add some more bread crumbs. Brown in fat in large skillet. Remove the balls from the pan and set aside.

Fry drained mushrooms and onion until onion is soft. Sprinkle paprika and flour over the mushrooms and onion and let brown thoroughly. Add broth, mushroom juice and the balls. Simmer 20 min.
