Big John's Southern Buttermilk Meatballs

And they said not to use ground beef in southern dishes. Yeah whatever.

Combine the beef , milk , bread crumbs , onion , 1 teaspoons of salt , and the pepper.

Mix thoroughly then shape into 16 balls.

Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a skillet then brown the meat balls well on all sides.

Remove the meat balls from the pan and add the remaining butter.

Blend in the flour , sugar , and the other 1 / 2 teaspoons of salt.

Add the buttermilk and mustard and cook , stirring constantly until thickened.

Reduce the heat and return the meat balls to the sauce.

Cover and simmer for 25 minutes.
