I can still remember Mother making this delicious recipe in an old iron skillet on her wood-burning stove years ago. It's such wonderful family fare, we still enjoy warming up with it on cold winter nights!

3/4 cup dry bread crumbs
3/4 cup finely chopped onion

1-1/2 pounds ground beef
3/4 pound ground pork
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

In a bowl, combine the first eight ingredients. Crumble meat over mixture; mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. In a large skillet, brown meatballs in oil in small batches over medium heat; drain.

For an even faster dish we have used frozen meatballs and made just the sauce. My family LOVES this dish!
