Meatballs & Dumplings 1930 Depression Era Recipe - Old Cookbook Show - Glen & Friends Cooking
I know... this is called Meatballs & Dumplings, but it's more like a cross between a Hamburg Steak Recipe, and a Salisbury Steak Recipe. It is a hearty filling meal that will extend your food budget in trying times.

Meatball Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1 onion, minced
2 Tbsp flour
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 cup milk
1 onion, sliced
2-3 carrots, sliced lengthwise
1 rib celery, chopped
Butter / oil for frying

Dumplings Ingredients:
1 cup flour
2 tsp baking powder
1/3 tsp salt
½ Tbsp butter
½ cup milk +


Method:
Mix meat, minced onion, salt, pepper, flour and milk.
Shape into patties.
In a heavy 9-10” pan with a lid - heat some butter and sear the patties on both sides.
Remove patties to a plate, and quickly fry off the other sliced onion.
Place the patties back into the pan, and pour in enough water to cover.
Put on the lid and simmer ½ hour.
Make the Dumpling dough, by combining all of the ingredients.
Dough should be slightly tacky, so adjust flour or milk to compensate.
After ½ hour, add the carrot and celery to pan with the meat, and cook until veg is tender.
Remove patties and veg to a serving platter, and drop walnut sized balls of dumpling dough into the gravy.
Cover and boil 10 minutes.
Serve patties and dumplings with the pan gravy and veg.
