1. | Combine bread cubes, onion, milk, egg, salt, pepper, ginger, nutmeg. (I blend the onion with the milk until it's totally pureed. You may use dried onion instead of fresh; if you do, add 2 tsp canned milk.) | 2. | Let bread soak up milk mixture. | 3. | Stir to break up bread. | 4. | Add ground meats. | 5. | Shape into 1- to 1 ½-inch balls. | 6. | Form into circle on glass pie pan, microwave until done, about two minutes. Repeat microwaving until all meatballs are cooked. | 7. | Or, bake on ungreased cookie sheet 350 degrees, 20-30 minutes. Or, cook raw meatballs with gravy poured over them, in a 13 x 9 cake pan at 350o for 30 minutes. | 8. | May also bake meatballs ahead of time, freeze, then warm up with gravy poured over them, in 350 degree oven about 20 minutes. | Alternate gravy: 1 cup brown gravy mixed with 1 can cream of mushroom soup, 1 cup milk. |
