This is my newest, favorite meatball recipe. If you like a sweet twist, you'll like this one. The meatballs will be slightly pink inside when done because of the pork, so do not overbake them!

German Hamburgers (Frikadellen)
Frikadellen, the original hamburger, are served like a flattened meatball with string beans and salad. I also like to use this recipe to make Swedish meatballs (but omit the paprika). My aunt in Hamburg, Germany, taught me this recipe, and I've been making it ever since. Serve with steamed string beans and tossed salad. Or serve on a kaiser roll with lettuce, tomato, pickled cucumbers, finely sliced deep-fried onions, and curry ketchup.
Angel Family Chicken Soup with Matzo Balls
This chicken soup with matzo balls recipe has been passed down for generations in the Angel family. Using fresh, delicious ingredients gives the soup rich flavor.
Stuffed Cabbage Rolls
This cabbage rolls recipe is super easy to prep with cabbage leaves, ground beef, rice, and condensed tomato soup. I have been using this recipe for well over 20 years and still love it! To speed things up the rolls are cooked in a skillet on the stovetop but this recipe also works well in a slow cooker.
