These are good when they are served with either mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles. I don’t usually use a recipe when I make these so I had to look, and found it in my copy of Scandinavian Home Cooking.

Mix together thoroughly, using your hands if necessary:
1 pound ground beef
½ pound pork sausage
1 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
½ cup milk
¼ cup grated onion
½ teaspoon allspice
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon sugar

Form into small balls and brown in a greased frying pan, turning to brown on all sides.

Place in an oven-safe casserole and add a can of mushroom soup and a soup can of water.

If you like browner gravy, add a few drops of “Kitchen Bouquet.”

Cover and bake for an hour at 350.

Grandma sometimes substituted oatmeal for the bread crumbs.

I also found the following in the same cookbook: (After all, what’s a book that doesn’t have a little violence in it?)
