   Grandma's meatballs submitted by Mom Johnson
Description
A family tradition and comfort food at it's best. We serve these tender meatballs with plenty of "smashed" potatoes!

Directions
Cook onion in 1 T. butter till tender. In a mixing bowl, combine the egg and cream; stir in the cooked onion, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, ginger, nutmeg and pepper. Add the ground beef or meats; mix well. Chill mixture. Shape chilled meat mixture into 3/4-1 inch balls.

Brown the meatballs half at a time, in the remaining 2 T. butter; remove from the skillet. Stir the flour, bouillon granules, coffee crystals into pan drippings. Add 1 1/2 cups water. Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly; add the meatballs. Cover and simmer about 30 minutes, basting the meatballs occasionally. Makes about 60 meatballs.
