under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 1/2 pound ground beef
1 cup soft breadcrumbs
1/3 cup water
1/4 cup minced green onions
1 egg
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter or margarine
3 tablespoons flour
2 cups milk
2 tablespoons chopped fresh dill

directions

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.
