Ingredients

  • 4 slices White Sandwich Bread
  • ½ cups Milk
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2  Eggs, Beaten
  • ½  Onion, Chopped
  • 2 teaspoons Baking Powder
  • ¾ teaspoons Salt
  • ½ teaspoons Pepper
  • FOR THE SAUCE:
  • 1 can (10 1/2 Oz. Size) Cream Of Mushroom Soup
  • 1 can (10 1/2 Oz. Size) Cream Of Chicken Soup
  • 1 cup Milk

Preparation

In a large bowl, soak bread slices in milk for 3–5 minutes. Add ground beef, eggs, chopped onion, baking powder, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.

With the help of a cookie scoop, form mixture into 1- to 2-inch meatballs. Place on a parchment-lined cookie sheet and freeze for 30–45 minutes.

When slightly firm, working in batches, brown the meatballs in a large skillet then place into a 2 ½ to 3-quart baking dish.

Once all meatballs have been browned (don’t worry if not completely cooked through, they will finish in the oven), mix the sauce by combining cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soup with milk. Pour sauce over the meatballs in the dish and bake for 1 hour at 350°F.
