Swedish Meatballs

Swedish Meatballs

1lb lean ground beef
1 egg
1/3 cup green pepper, finely chopped
2 Tbsp plain bread crumbs
½ cup onion, finely chopped
2 TBSP butter
1 can low-sodium tomato soup
2 TBSP brown sugar
1 TBSP dried mustard
1 Tbsp vinegar

In large bowl, use hands to mix ground beef with bread crumbs and egg. Roll into 40 meatballs.

In a large skillet, sauté green pepper and onion in the butter; cook until onion is translucent. Remove vegetables from pan.

In the same skillet, brown the meatballs on all sides on high heat.

Add in vegetables and sauce.

Transfer to a baking dish and bake at 350F for 30-40 minutes or until meatballs are brown all the way through (cut into one to test for doneness).

Notes: this dish freezes well.
