Ever wonder how to make meatballs, aka Fleischklöße or Klopse? Here's a versatile recipe that's very German.
It's been in our family for generations, passed on from Mutti's Mutti to Mutti and to me. And, I'm passing it on to our grandchildren and to you.
Sometimes I get creative when I made these. Out will come the Montreal Steak Spice. Perhaps I'll add ½ cup of ketchup or BBQ sauce.
Cracker crumbs work well which is a great way to use up stale crackers. If there's time, I'll fry up the onions before adding to the meat mixture.
German meatballs shown above are braised and turn into this delicious dinner: Königsberger Klopse mit Sosse. Below, here's how to make the meatballs ...
Another way I like to use them is to fry these Klopse and serve either with a brown sauce or even tomato sauce. I also bake them and then freeze them for later use.
Here, I'm using this meatball recipe to make lots of different meals.
There’s something absolutely mouth-watering about having a German meat-and-potato dinner. Get Oma's revised collection of her favorites in German Meat Dishes.

If you've used my Quick Meatloaf recipe, you'll realize this is almost the same recipe, because it is. 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.
