I remember my mother making porcupine meatballs in a thin, souplike white sauce. I can not find the recipe any where (and I have a very large recipe library). Even the net has only tomatoe sauce, tomatoe soup and the like. I don't want those as they take over in the flavour department. Can any one give me the recipe?
I have come across sourcream or cheese sauces with them or people using canned soup. Can you elaborate on what you remember the broth tasting like? I recently went through this with a cookie recipe my grandmother made and never wrote it down. Took me years...but I found it Here!!!!!!!!!! I will look more......KarenB where are you, lolOriginally Posted by loxias
I am just guessing here, but could it be Swedish Meatballs? That is in a sort of white sauce and the meatballs have rice in them, sort of looking like quills? Just a thought.
Your right Basilrock. The hamburger is mixed with chopped onion and rice. A thin "broth" was used since the rice is raw. Covered in a casserole so it would steam cook the rice. Mom used tomato soup and water but I make it with a mushroom roux base. Just because I prefer the taste.
In the 60s my Mom used to make her "Swedish" meatball sauce using canned cream of mushroom soup and a half can of milk; could that be it? Not authentically Swedish, of course. Nor particularly healthy. But it sure was tasty.
