Meatballs with Mustard Sauce
1 single-serving French bread roll
6 3/4 cups water, divided use
1 pound lean ground beef
1 strip bacon, diced
4 anchovies, diced
2 onions, 1 diced and 1 whole
1 large egg
1 1/4 teaspoons salt, divided use
1/2 teaspoon white pepper, divided use
1 bay leaf
6 whole black peppercorns
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon prepared mustard
1 large egg yolk, beaten
In a small mixing bowl, soak bread roll in 3/4 cup of the water for about 10 minutes.
Squeeze bread dry and place in a large bowl with ground beef, bacon, anchovies, the chopped onion, egg, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt and half of the white pepper. Mix thoroughly and set aside.
In a medium saucepan combine remaining 6 cups water, 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, bay leaf, the whole onion and peppercorns; bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, shape the meat mixture into balls about 2-inches in diameter. Add to the boiling broth and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Remove from water and keep warm.
In a large skillet melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Slowly stir in 1/2 cup of the onion broth, lemon juice and prepared mustard. Simmer for 5 minutes.
Spoon a small amount of the sauce into the egg yolk and blend. Pour yolk into the sauce. Season with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and remaining half of the white pepper.
Add meatballs to the gravy and heat through. Serve over egg noodles or rice with sauce drizzled over.
Makes 4 servings.

We really like this one. In fact, my recipe card has spills all over it because it's so good and I've used it so much. COCKTAIL BBQ SAUCE Mix together 4 Tbs. Catsup; 1/4 tsp. ground ginger; 2 Tbs. dry sherry; 1 tsp. sugar and 6 to 8 drops Tabasco. Double the recipe for meatballs or 2 packages hotdogs. Good hors d’oeuvre sauce! Option: Add sliced green onions. I normally start with a double recipe, but have also made larger batches depending upon how many meatballs I'm making. In fact, I'm going to use this sauce next Sat. for a picnic. If you don't have sherry, you can use wine.
