Servings: persons

1 lb 10 ounces ground beef
5 slices bread (I like them a day old)
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 tablespoon salt
1 pinch pepper (black or white)
1/2 teaspoon allspice (do not forget this, it is what gives the meatballs their distinctive taste!)
1 egg
1 onion, minced fine
1 -2 tablespoon flour or 1 -2 tablespoon cornstarch
Gravy Master (optional)
beef, bullion powder (optional)
1 -2 cup water

1
Wet bread with water until moist, but not soggy. I add it by spoonfuls.
2
Add ground beef and mix.
3
Add sugar, spices, egg, onion and mix well.
4
Form mixture into balls. I make them a bit bigger than a walnut. It's a good 2-bite size. I can usually get about 48 meatballs.
5
In batches, brown meatballs on all sides over medium-low heat.
6
Set aside meatballs, leaving pan on stove (you'll need it for gravy). I usually put them in a crock pot or chafing dish at this point.
7
Make Gravy!
8
Mix flour (or cornstarch) with 1/2 cup water. Mix well, so there are no lumps.
9
Over low heat, add 1 cup water to pan used to brown meatballs. Stir well, scraping up brown bits from pan.
10
Add flour/water mixture.
11
Continue to stir, adding water if needed until thickened. Should be just thick enough to glaze the meatballs.
12
Can also add 1 teaspoon of Gravy Master (or other browning agent) and/or 1 teaspoon beef bullion powder with flour mixture. I usually do.
13
When gravy is done, pour over meatballs and enjoy!
