New Year's Eve: Safe Swedish meatballs over noodles

This turned out amazingly delicious and stroganoffy. Thanks, mom, for making the recipe up!

1 lb ground beef
1lb ground pork (I went with veal because Muslims were partying with us)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tbsp parsley flakes
1 small grated onion
2 eggs' worth of eggbeaters
3 rice cakes
water to dampen rice cakes

Gravy:
1 cup beef broth
1 cup veal broth
1 tsp Worcestershire
salt and pepper
splash red wine for flavor (alcohol cooks off)
Into bowl crumble rice cakes and dampen with water and smash up. (use just enough water to soak rice)- let sit until mushy.

When rice is soft add meats and spices w/onion and egg product-combine well. Roll into balls and bake @ 350 for approx 30-45 minutes or until cooked through (depends on size of balls rolled). Remove meatballs and make gravy with drippings. Into hot drippings add 3-4 tbsp rice flour and stir into a roux- brown for a few seconds to remove flour taste. Slowly add 2 cups stock whisking constantly. Season with salt and pepper and heat until thickened and smooth (if lumps form you can strain). Add wine if using and additional seasoning as needed. Put meatballs back into sauce and heat through.



Served over rice fusilli and thrilled a party full of non-safe eaters.
