2/3 cup soft bread crumbs

1/2 cup grated onion

1/2 teaspoon ground allspice

1 pound ground beef

1 tablespoon cornstarch

1 can (10-12 oz) condensed beef consomme, undiluted OR bee

Preparation

In a bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients; add beef and mix well. Shape into 1 1/4 inch balls. In a skillet over medium heat, brown meatballs; drain.

Transfer to a greased 1 1/2 qt. baking dish. combine the cornstarch and consomme until smooth (works really well to either whisk them, or put both in a tight-lidded jar and shake) ; add to skillet. Bring to boil, stirring to loosen browned bits from pan. Boil for 2 minutes or until thickened. Pour over the meatballs. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 50-60 minutes.
