My first mother in law made the most divine meat balls.

She made them from beef with finely chopped onion, chopped fresh, very ripe
tomatoes, vegemite (lol, that was what actually made them so special!)
Worcestershire sauce, bit of salt, beaten egg and flour. She rolled them in
flour as well before frying them gently over a gas flame in a cast iron
frying pan and dripping.

The dripping was poured off and gravy made in the pan. I can't tell you just
how divine those meatballs were!
If she was making them for a party she made them bite-sized and cooked them
til just before they browned on the outside then would heat them up gently
in a gas oven.

Sadly she is 93 and doesn't cook anymore, the newer generations in the
family only hear about these meatballs now at family functions My
daughter recently asked me for the recipe and she cooked them for friends
with just salad and they all raved and took home the recipe
