Here is an inexpensive and fast way to make Swedish meatballs.

Ingredients:

• Garlic powder
• Cream of mushroom soup

Directions:

Mix hamburger, crackers, eggs and garlic powder well and roll in to meatballs. Bake in a 350 degree F oven for about 30-45 minutes, until nearly done. Drain fat.

For gravy, put the soup in a bowl and blend with 1/2 can of milk per can of soup. Pour over meatballs and bake another 15 minutes or so until soup is hot.

I love Swedish meatballs, another dish to use with ground beef! Add some dill to the meatball for a Scandinavian twist. (05/20/2008)

I made this when I was a teenager and it never failed. Instead of beef, use pork or turkey or what ever ground meat you choose. I promise you will not fail with this recipe.
