- 1 egg slightly beaten
- 1 tsp. grated lemon rind
- 3 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper

Directions: Mix all but last two ingredients. Shape mixture into balls about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. The mixture will be soft, but makes tender meat balls. Brown a few at a time in a little hot fat and remove from skillet. When all are browned, pour excess fat from skillet and return meat balls to pan. Cover with tomato soup-boiling water mixture. Cover pan. Simmer 50 to 60 minutes. Remove meat balls. Spoon excess fat from sauce. Pour sauce over meat balls and serve. (4-6 servings)
