Norwegian Church Meatballs are a traditional Norwegian dish, often served at special occasions such as weddings and Christmas celebrations. They are typically made with a combination of ground beef and pork, mixed together with spices and milk-soaked bread for added moisture. When baked in the oven, they form a crispy golden crust on the outside, while remaining moist and juicy on the inside. These meatballs can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and pickles.

Instructions

1.Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
2.In a large mixing bowl, combine the hamburger, ground pork, eggs, bread slices (broken into small pieces), milk, salt, pepper, ginger, ground mustard, nutmeg, and dried onion. Mix well to combine all the ingredients.
3.Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
4.Place the meatballs in a baking dish or on a baking sheet, spaced apart to ensure even cooking.
5.Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown on the outside and fully cooked on the inside. Let cool for a few minutes before serving.
