Swedish Meatballs by Chez Baz

Without any prompting, Baz chose Swedish Meatballs on Noodles as his specialty du jour! For 3 days in a row, he would open his Rachael Ray cookbook to the appropriate page and read off the ingredients he needed - "pound of ground sirloin, 1 large egg beaten, cup of bread crumbs, nutmeg". Obviously, he still doesn't know how to read fractions but give him time :) He then painstakingly read the procedure... "place the ground sirloin in a large mixing bowl...."

When it was time the drop the Knorr beef cubes into a cup of hot water, he paid no need to my advice to drop it in gently and learned the value of following instructions. In keeping with his aversion to getting his hands dirty, he refused to shape the meatballs! Even an enthusiastic demonstration by his ultra-clean daddy was of no avail....

The Swedish Meatballs on Noodles turned out to be a success! It called for 1 cup of heavy cream and a tablespoon of grape jelly - how could it go wrong, right?
