Cook time: 30 min

Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 kg ground beef (no fat); 1 large onion, chopped fine (I like to pre-fry mine); 1 teaspoon crushed garlic; 1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs; 2 tablespoons barbecue sauce; 1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs; 1/3 cup finely chopped ham; 1 egg; 1/3 cup butter; 1 (425 g) can evaporated milk; 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce; 1/2 teaspoon celery salt (or celery powder); 1 tablespoon chopped parsley

Servings: persons

1 kg ground beef (no fat)
1 large onion, chopped fine (I like to pre-fry mine)
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1/2 cup dried breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons barbecue sauce
1/2 teaspoon mixed herbs
1/3 cup finely chopped ham
1 egg
1/3 cup butter
1 (425 g) can evaporated milk
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon celery salt (or celery powder)
1 tablespoon chopped parsley

1
In a bowl mix the first 8 ingredients and form into 25 - 30 meatballs (about the size of a walnut).
2
In a large fry pan, heat the butter (the French cook mainly with butter - not oil and this really does make a BIG difference to the overall dish). Add the prepared meatballs (I try to make mine during the day so that dinner is on the table faster). Gently fry over a medium heat (don't burn your butter) for 10 - 15 minutes shaking your pan regularly to shift the meatballs to cook on all sides.
3
Reduce heat to low (once meatballs are ALMOST cooked through) and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer and shake the pan often for 5 minutes (sauce will thicken). Serve with buttered rice or mashed potatoes.
