1091. DUTCH MEATBALLS with BROWN BEANS and BACON

1 lb. ground beef, as lean as possible
4 large white potatoes
1 large onion, chopped fine
1/4 cup paneermeel or bread crumbs
1 tablespoon parsley flakes
1 egg
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
1 tablespoon gehakt seasoning
brown beans (approximately 1 can's worth)
bacon (as much as desired), cooked and chopped

Mix all ingredients together and form into meatballs. Brown the meatballs on medium high heat in a frying pan, add gravy and allow to simmer 15 to 20 minutes.

Gravy: Melt 1 tablespoon butter or margarine. Add 2 tablespoons plain flour slowly, mixing well. Pour in 1 cup each of water and milk, mixing well. Season to taste. Or use your favorite brown gravy recipe.

Brown beans: For best results, rinse beans and remove stones. Soak overnight in salted cold water. Drain, place in a pot with just enough water to cover. Simmer approx. 1 hour - until tender. Canned beans are okay but of course you will only need a few minutes to heat them through before serving.

Potatoes: Peel and quarter 4 large white potatoes. Boil gently for 10 to 15 minutes until just done.

Onion: Chop the remaining onion into large chunks.

Serve the meatballs in gravy with the beans, potatoes, onions and bacon. The onion and bacon pieces are used as toppings on the beans or suit your own taste and sprinkle them over everything.
