This recipe given to me by my mom over 20 years ago is not the usual cream-lemon sauce, but is a beef based sauce with a slight tangy flavor that compliments the meatballs and goes well with steamed white rice.

Ingredients

1 egg, beaten
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 cup fresh breadcrumb
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 cups boiling beef broth (made from boullion cubes is acceptable)
3 tablespoons flour, blended with
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon lemon juice

Directions

1
Combine beaten egg, ground beef, bread crumbs, salt and pepper in a large bowl and form into 24 large meatballs.
2
Bring beef broth to a boil, then add meatballs. Lower heat and poach gently for 15 minutes.
3
Whisk to smooth 3 TBLS. flour and 1/2 cup of water.
4
Remove meatballs to a heated dish and skim any fat from broth.
5
Slowly stir flour mixture in to simmering broth and stir with a whisk until sauce thickens.(sauce will be thin).

These were absolutley the best meatballs I have ever made! The sauce is to die for. I did add more like 2 tbsp lemon juice, and it gave it just a little extra flavour, but not lemony by any means. The meatballs held together really well,I think because of the poaching. Thanks for a delicious recipe!

This was different than any meatball recipe I have tried before. I thought it was good and very easy to make. The lemon sauce was a good compliment to the meat. My husband, who is not a meatball fan, thought they were very good meatballs. I spaced making the rice until everything was almost finished and so I served it over noodles instead.

This was a very simple and tasty recipe. DH said that it tasted even better as leftovers, probably because the meatballs soaked the sauce a bit. Easy, fairly healthy and satisfying. Only change we made was ground turkey instead of beef. Thanks for sharing.
