Inspired by the Swedish Chef Before any preparation you must sing the Swedish Chef Song. "Yorn desh born, der ritt de gitt der gue, Orn desh, dee born desh, de umn bork! bork! bork!"  1 finely chopped yellow or red onion  1 pound of minced meat/ground beef  1/2 cup broth or milk  1/2 cup bread crumbs  1 egg  spices (take your pick from allspice, nutmeg, black pepper, white pepper) Soak the bread crumbs in the warm liquid (broth or milk) for 10 minutes. Then add it to the minced meat and mix in the egg and spices. Fry the onions and add it to the meat mixture. Refrigerate for about an hour. Sing Hava Nagila with the Swedish Chef. Wet your hands and form small (smaller than a golf ball) balls. Resist the urge to start juggling. Saute (butter/margarine/oil) the balls for 5-10 minutes making sure to turn them frequently. Resist the urge to fry them all at once in the pan.



For a less messy meatball, instead of frying try baking the balls in the oven at 350 for 30 minutes.
