Edith’s Swedish Meatballs Recipe
1 lb. lean ground beef
8 oz. can of tomato sauce
1 potato, grated
1 finely diced big bell pepper
An egg
3 finely diced celery stalks
1 grated small onion
Pepper & salt for seasoning
corn flakes (crushed) mixed together with flour ( 1 cup of cornflakes – 2 tbsps. of flour)
Combine together beef, egg, celery, bell peppers, onions and potatoes then season it with pepper & salt. Mixture can be mushy a bit but not really soupy as you will not be able to make them in balls with the use of your own hands.
Make little balls with the beef mixture then drop them in the cornflakes and flour mixture and be sure that each piece of meatball is coated well.
Fry them up on a skillet with hot oil (about 1/4-inch) until it browns on all of its sides. Pat them dry on some paper towels
Note: You can use a food processor to prepare the vegetables in this recipe.
