8-10
ingredients
- 4 slices bread (I use a dense whole grain)
- 2⁄3 cup milk
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 1⁄4 cup butter
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 lbs ground beef
- 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
- 1⁄2 teaspoon dried tarragon
- salt and pepper
- 1⁄2 cup flour, to dust meatballs
- 2 cups sour cream
- 16 ounces sliced mushrooms
directions
- In a large bowl saturate the bread in the milk until it's completely softened and breaks apart when stirred.
- In a large skillet, saute the onion in half the butter until soft and opaque.
- Add to the large bowl along with the ground beef, dill, tarragon, salt, pepper, and beaten eggs.
- Mix together well, using your hands, and let rest while you saute the mushrooms in the rest of the butter, until tender.
- Remove the mushrooms from the pan and form the meat mixture into 1 inch meatballs.
- Dust the meatballs with flour and brown in the same skillet, adding more butter or oil, if necessary.
- Add the mushrooms and sour cream to the meatballs in the skillet, stir to coat everything well, partially cover, and simmer over very low heat for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Salt and pepper to taste.
- These are great served over kluski noodles or tiny homemade Polish dumpling noodles.

I live in Minnesota, and actually like the winter more than summer! (Must have Siberian ancestors!)
The main focus of my life is, and always has been, children. I've spent the majority of my life either educating myself about children, having and raising children, or working with children. I presently work in an elementary school with children that have emotional/behavioral difficulties, and have three daughters of my own.
I also have four grandsons (one an extra gift that came when my daughter very wisely married his dad) and will become Grandma to the the 5th baby in June. This one a little girl! I can not wait!! I received so much joy being a mother that finding that much joy, and more, in being 'Grandma' has taken me by surprise. They are all the best gifts ever given to me.
Whatever free time I have is spent with my nose in a book, surfing the web for new recipes, or with my wonderful friends, both online and "in person".
