Posted by Beachy family, carpenter, Willisburg KY on 2nd Mar 2018

3 lb ground beef

½ cup cracker crumbs

1 medium onion, chopped

2 ½ tsp salt

¼ cup milk

dash of pepper


Mix all of the ingredients together. Form into balls and place on a cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes.

In a large cooking pot, cook 8-10 potatoes cubed, 1 qt peas, and 1 lb carrots sliced for a short time. Place the vegetables and meatballs into a large casserole. Prepare the gravy.

Gravy:

1 qt chicken broth

1 envelope onion soup mix

1 ½ TBSP garlic salt

1 pkg brown gravy mix

¼ cup chicken soup base

1 can cream of mushroom soup

2 TBSP Worcestershire sauce

1-2 qts water

Mix the gravy together in a saucepan. Thicken with 1 cup flour. Add 1 lb Velveeta cheese and stir until melted and combined. Pour the gravy mix over the veggie and meatballs. Bake, covered, at 350 degrees for 1 ½ hours (if baked right away). Cut up (quartered) 3 cans of biscuits. Melt ½ cup butter, add some garlic salt. Dip the quartered biscuit pieces into the butter mix and place on a cookie sheet. Bake and put this on top of the uncovered casserole for the last 15 minutes. This fills a Lifetime Roaster.
