This is where you tell me I spelt it wrong!

I thought I would add my recipe for you, mine is my Oma's (German Granmother's) recipe (which is the best)!

500g Beef Mince
1 Onion diced
2 slices of bread soaked in water (squeeze excess water)
1 Egg
Add Seasoning (Salt/Pepper/Paprika/cyanne Pepper/Smoked Paprika/Onion Powder and pretty much anything you can find)
Add Herbs

Mix really well and make sure you cook a small amount to test the seasoning...!

Mix thoroughly, roll into balls... cook on a low heat in a frying pan and close the lid (to ensure cooking in the centre)!

Oh and if you are feeling naughty, when finished I de glaze the pan with cream and make this into a sauce!

Thanks for the recipe JulieG sounds fantastic and so good of you to share x Just going to copy it now. I think it sounds like the sort of meal the 3 DGSs will like. It can be hard to find meals that all 7 like. DH, DD and I are fairly easy to please but the other 4 can be more difficult to please.

Last night I used granery bread for the first time (due to my dietary restrictions) and it was SO MUCH better then with white bread!

I find that this meal is perfect for children... my son also liked them with a tomato sauce and it's 'Spaghetti and Meatballs'

Another time I made them tiny and served with chips... I made the chips into football goals and the meatballs were footballs! That went down really well too

BTW 450g on Mince made 18 meatballs last night! 3 per person makes these pretty good value for money!
