Meatballs and noodles

At least that was the original name of it, we will need to come up with a new one.

Half way through making the meatballs you need to start cooking the noodles. We used spaghetti noodles, boiled them in a pot and then cooked them over the stove in a little bit of oil and worcestershire sauce.

Making the meatballs:
1lb hamburger
3/4 tbsp chopped onion
1/2 c bread or cracker crumbs
1/2 c milk
1 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 can cream of mushroom
8 oz cream cheese
2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Mix hamburger, onion, crumbs, milk, salt, pepper and 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce together. Form into meatballs and brown in a skillet. (This is where I realized the recipe calls for too much milk, they were too soggy to keep as balls in the pan. I cooked them all the way through and added the sauce, them crumbled them to be more like chunky ground hamburger.) Pour off fat.

Combine cream cheese and soup. Pour over meatballs. Simmer on low heat about 30 minutes. Combine meatballs with noodles and 1 tsp of Worcestershire sauce if desired.

Because it turned out to not be meatballs we decided that this "meatball mixture" would also be good on hamburger buns, so try it! It was still really good just on the noodles.
