German Meatballs Recipe
- 1 pound ground beef
- 2 eggs
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon Liquid Barbecue Smoke®
- 4 ounces canned mushrooms
- 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
- 1 cup sour cream
- In a large mixing bowl, add the eggs, Worcestershire, mustard, paprika, oregano, garlic powder, and liquid smoke. Mix well with a fork or whisk.
- Add the ground beef and blend well using your well washed hands. Form meatballs by rolling a small portion in the palm of your hands (rubbing a little oil on your hands will help keep the meat from sticking). Place meatballs on a tray or platter until ready to cook.
- In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add one batch of meatballs at a time and brown well on all sides and cook through (about 8 minutes per batch). Gently transfer to a bowl and cover (to retain the heat). Repeat until all the meatballs have been cooked.
- Pour off any grease (but leave the bits of meat in the skillet).
- Add the canned mushrooms with the liquid. Reduce heat to medium. Add the Kitchen bouquet and the sour cream. Stir until well mixed.
- Gently add the meatballs back to the skillet and spoon the sauce over the meatballs to cover. Cook until heated through (but do not boil). This should only take a minute or two. Transfer to serving platter and serve immediately.
