How to Make Meatballs
"Fleischklößche" or "Klopse"
Ever wonder how to make meatballs? Here's a versatile recipe! If you've used the Quick Meatloaf recipe, you'll realize this is almost the same recipe. Once you do this one a few times, you'll soon recognize the "feel" of a good mixture. And you'll be adding stuff - a bit of this and a bit of that - and making your own version.
German meatballs are usually braised in a liquid , such as the recipe for Königsberger Klopse mit Hollandische Sosse .
Another way I like to use them is to fry these "klopse" and serve either with a brown sauce or even tomato sauce. One can also bake them and then freeze them for later use.

Ingredients: 2 lbs. lean beef 2 eggs 1 small onion, finely chopped 1/2 cup bread crumbs 1 1/2 tsp. salt 1/2 tsp. pepper Instructions:
In a large bowl, gently mix all ingredients. Shape into meatballs. Use in Königsberger Klopse mit Hollandische Sosse recipe as if using frozen meatballs. To braise : Bring liquid (broth) to boil, lower heat, and add meatballs. Simmer until cooked, about 15 - 20 minutes, depending on size of meatballs. To bake : Place on baking sheets and bake at 375° F. for about 20 - 30 minutes until done. To freeze : Bake meatballs, cool, freeze individually on baking sheet and then put into freezer bags for later use.
