<p>
Now this one really stirs up some fond nostalgic memories of my mum on
a day when she was busy working. She'd reach for a tin of meatballs,
you know the ones I mean, they'd sometimes come in a tomato sauce and
have an odd kind of texture. I loved them as a child, but now I
shudder at the thought. So, here I'm making my home made version with
not a tin in sight! A classic English dish with a rich onion gravy
that is just delicious. Wonderful served with rice, peas and sweetcorn
as a lighter meal option, or, pure indulgent home comfort when served
with a creamy smooth mashed potato.
</p>
<p>
You might note that I'm using breadcrumbs in this recipe, this not
only bulks out the meat a little, helping to reduce costs, but, also
makes the meatballs softer and easier to work with. Strictly speaking
though, you don't have to use them if you don't want to!

<p>
First of all, you want to prepare the meat and create some
cylindrical shaped meat rolls wrapped tightly in
ClingFilm™, then pop them in the fridge for a while so
that they firm up and the meat sticks together, if you can leave
them overnight that would be perfect and as a bonus; you will
have half of the job done ready for the next day! When ready,
you simply chop the meat rolls into equal size portions and form
into 2.5cm (1 inch in old money!) balls ready for browning.
Chilling the rolls makes them far easier to work with, and they
won't fall apart when you start to cook them!
</p>
<p>
With your meatballs browned, you can then move on to the onion
gravy, which is pretty simple to make.
</p>
<p>So, without further ado, here's the step-by-step guide:</p>
<!-- Method List Goes Below Here!!! -->
<h2>prepare the meat</h2>
<ol>
<li>Put your mince beef into a large mixing bowl</li>
<li>Sprinkle salt and pepper over the mince</li>
<li>Mash it all together with your fist</li>
<li>Add the finely chopped onions & breadcrumbs</li>
<li>Mash together with your fist again</li>
<li>Add the egg and combine with your fist</li>
<li>Lay some sheets of ClingFilm™ onto a board</li>
<li>
Put a line of the beef mixture onto the ClingFilm™
</li>
<li>Roll the ClingFilm™ over the meat</li>
<li>Roll into an evenly round sausage shape</li>
<li>Place in the fridge for as long as you can</li>
</ol>
<div class="spacer"></div>
<h2>make the dish</h2>
<ol start="12">
<li>Take the ClingFilm™ off the rolls of meat</li>
<li>Cut the meat roll into 2.5cm pieces</li>

A proper serving of meatballs! I mean, come on now! We're not
serving up a mini "5 ingredient meal" here! Budget? Yes! Portion
reduction? No way José! If you can only afford to eat one decent
dinner a day, let's make it a Wellington boot filler!
