MEAT BALL CHOWDER

This is another old Indiana recipe that was my mom's box of recipe clippings..

Meat Balls:

2 tsp seasoned salt
dash of pepper
2 slightly beaten eggs
1/4 cup chopped green onion, tops included
1/3 cup fine cracker crumbs
2 tbs milk
2 tbs flour
1 tbs oil

Combine the ingredts together and form into balls about 1 tablespoon (or the size of a walnut).  Makes about 50 meatballs.  Dip in the flour and brown on all sides in the hot oil.

4 onions, cut into eighths
6 cups water
6 cups tomato juice
8 beef bouillon cubes
3 cups sliced carrots
3 cups sliced celery
3 cups diced potatoes

1 tbs sugar
2 tsp salt
3 bay leaves
1 tsp marjoram

Place all ingredients including the meatballs to a Dutch oven or large kettle.  Bring mixture to a boil.  Cover, reduce heat and simmer until the vegetables are tender.

Makes 6 to 7 quarts.
