SWEDISH MEAT DUMPLINGS FOR SOUP

Steps:

• Combine all ingredients (except flour); blend thoroughly. Shape into small balls the size of a large marble.
• Roll in flour, drop into your simmering soup and simmer for 20 minutes.
• Notes: This is admittedly done on a small scale, but easily doubled. The yield will depend on how faithful you are to size. I like to use 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce to add smoky flavor + darker color to the meat mixture, but you can also add 1-2 tbsp of Pepperidge Farm dressing mix to enhance the flavor & stretch the yield. It's a tiny recipe w/lots of versatility!
