This is definitely one of my favorite things to make! This German tradition makes for a perfect dinner on a summer's night. We paired the meatballs with sauerkraut, potato salad and cold beers, topping it off with some Schwarzwalder Kirschtorte (Black Forest Cake) for dessert! Yum!
I hope you enjoy this as much as I did!

2 lbs. of ground beef or pork (I used beef)
1 medium-large onion (chopped finely)

1/8 tsp. of ginger powder
1/8 tsp. of basil
1/8 tsp. of black pepper powder
1/8 tsp. of oregano
1/8 tsp. of clove powder
salt to taste
3 tbsp. of bread crumbs (store bought)
oil for frying

Frikadellen go well with warm german potato salad, sauerkraut and a glass of pinot noir or pilsner beer.
