Swedish Meatball



I wanted something quick and easy for dinner the other night.  So, I came up with this.  My oldest didn't particularly like it, but my littlest inhaled it. I highly doubt that these are actually Swedish meatballs, but what do i know.

servings 4-6

Ingredients:

1 pound hamburger
1 egg
2 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup bread crumbs (I like to use the Italian seasoned ones)
1 tablespoon garlic
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1/4 - 1/2 cup water
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon garlic

Directions:
Mix the first 5 ingredients together and form your meatballs.  you can either pan fry until done, or spray a baking pan with pam and bake at 350 for 20 minutes or until done.  If you want to go the super simple route, you can buy premade meatballs.  In a pan, big enough to hold sauce and meatballs, combine the rest of the ingredients.  Stir with a whisk to combine. Serve over hot noodles or rice.  

Want to do this in a crockpot?  After making your cooked meatballs, place all ingredients, except for sour cream in crockpot.  Cover and cook on low 4-6 hours.  30 minutes before serving, stir in sour cream, cover and cook.

Budget- 1 pound hamburger $3.23, 1 egg .10, bread crumbs .35, garlic .45, mushroom soup $1.00, sour cream .43, noodles $1.89.  $7.45 for all ingredients, for four large servings that is $1.86 per person!
