I don’t know who Mrs. Pawlowski is, but Laurie made her meatball recipe for Christmas and it was a smashing success. Not only are the meatballs quite tasty, but they are baked instead of fried, making them easier to prepare and, theoretically, much better for you.

Meatballs:

2 lb. ground beef

1 lb. ground pork

1 lb. ground veal

1 package Mrs. Grass or Lipton Onion Soup mix

4 eggs

salt and pepper to season

1 good sized raw onion  - chopped fine

1 c. cracker meal  (You can purchase a box of cracker meal, or make you own by running saltine crackers through the food processor.)

Mix all ingredients together.  Shape into balls.  Bake at 300 degrees for 35 minutes. 

Gravy:

1 can or bottle beef gravy

1 can cream of mushroom or onion soup

1 can water
