In very late response to Leslie's recipe quest, here is what you asked for from me!

I must be the meatball queen or something!

Sweet and Sour Meatballs

1 1/2 lb. ground beef

1/2 lb. sausage

Saute' the finely chopped onion in the butter until soft and translucent. Add the onion, 1 egg, salt and pepper to the minced meat. Mix well!

brown them covered.

Sauce:

1 c. ketchup

1/2 c. chili sauce (Old Fashioned)

1 Tbs. lemon juice

1 Tbs. soy sauce

1/3 c. water

1/3 c. brown sugar

pour over and steam for about 10 minutes.

We always eat these with rice and vegies!

Swedish Meatballs

Although Josh likes the ones from Ikea, and I have been known to make them, I love homemade. This recipe is from a Scandinavian cookbook Josh brought home from Sweden.

Use the same meatball recipe from above. The recipe calls for 1 Tbsp chopped chives and ground cloves. The store bought just don't give enough flavor for this recipe.

sauce:

1 oz. flour, 8 fl. oz. meat stock, 8 fl. oz. fresh cream

Stir the flour into the fat in the frying pan and brown it. Stir in the meat stock . Add the cream and let the sauce cook, covered, for about 10 minutes. In Sweden you would serve it hot with dinner, or cold as a starter!

We usually eat these over rice or pasta, but in Sweden they eat them over mashed potato's.
