I'm a nanny for a family with 8 kids....I made a batch of chicken & dumplings using this recipe that should have left a ton of left overs! Needless to say there wasn't even a bite left the next day! I also took the advice of using half butter half shorting and I also used buttermilk for a lil extra flavor! These are soooo simple and packed full of flavor you can easily add any number of herbs & spices to suit the needs of any recipe you'd like to jazz up with an nice homemade county feel. Soooo yummy!

Ooook listen up everyone...pay no attention to the low rattings 5this ones recived. It's a great base! Double the meat portions...use regular seasoned bread crumbs 1c......Half the nutmeg,cinnimon & clove.Double S&P add 1t of dry garlic. Used dryed onion still sauted in butter to lightly toast. Spread 2T of melted butter on a cookie sheet place raw meatballs on buttered cookie sheet & bake @ 375 / 15-20min. Bake In two batches adding fresh melted butter to the cookie sheet w/ each batch. Then scrap the butter and yummy brown bits into a pan to start a super yummy sause....add 3T of flour to start a rue.....mix 1c sour cream,1c milk 1t salt, 2T pepper dash nutmeg & clove.....add 1c stock to rue....stir till thick.....& slowly add milk mixture stir till thickened....pour sause over meatballs n bake 15-20min n enjoy! Sooooooo yummy good! We served w/ egg noodles!
