German Meatballs With Cream Dill Gravy

Combine beef, breadcrumbs, water, onions, egg, 1 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix lightly.

Shape into meatballs. Place on a jelly-roll pan. Bake in a hot oven (400 degrees F) for 15 minutes, or until browned.

Meanwhile, heat butter in a medium-size saucepan. Add flour and cook until bubbly. Remove from heat and gradually stir in milk until smooth.

Return to heat and cook until thickened, stirring constantly. Stir in dill and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt. Spoon over meatballs.

Serve with hot buttered noodles, if you wish.
