re: Non-tomato based meatballs

I made Meatball "stew" last week that was great.

1lb beef
1lb pork
1lb Cajun sausage (raw)
2 eggs
Breadcrumbs
Seasoning
Make 1.5-2oz meatballs. Bake at 400° for 25 minutes.

1.5qt water
4 rounded tsp roux (jarred roux - Don't shoot me)
Bring water to boil and add roux one teaspoon at a time, whisking until dissolved. Simmer for 1hr, uncovered. Add 1 cup water if necessary. Add 1 packet onion soup mix and 2 onions & 1 bell pepper (chopped). Add meatballs. Simmer 30-45 minutes, uncovered. Add chopped parsley and green onions 5 minutes before serving. Serve on cooked white rice.

That was the base recipe. I have homemade onion soup mix that I like to use, and since that doesn't have beef bouillon in it, I added 2 tsp of better than bouillon beef and a little dash of kitchen bouquet. I also used a lb of deer and a lb of pork from the farmers market in lieu of the meat listed above
