INGREDIENTS

• 1 cup (3 slices) fine, dry bread crumbs
• 1 lb. ground round steak
• 1/2 lb. ground pork
• 1/2 cup mashed potatoes
• 1 egg, beaten
• 1 teaspoon salt

DIRECTIONS

• Set out a large, heavy skillet having a tight-fitting cover. Set out bread crumbs.
• Lightly mix together in a large bowl 1/2 cup of the bread crumbs and steak, pork, potatoes, egg and a mixture of salt, brown sugar, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, cloves, and ginger. Shape mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter. Roll balls lightly in remaining crumbs.
