My geat grandparents were from Norway, it's a traditional food there.

My aunt used to make it every Christmas and it was always my favorite part of the meal. She would make meatballs and gravy and we would wrap them in lefse like a little burrito so good!

This link is the closest I've found in taste for the meatballs I remember

I love trying traditional foods from different places, very happy to share!
I keep an eye on this thread to try recipes too. I'm always looking for something new and interesting to try.

Did we tell @igorsMistress she was the inspiration for last night's dinner? Beef Enchilada with red sauce. And I plan on making her green sauce with the left over filling and may supplement with some pulled pork from tonight's meal.

So happy you were inspired @rjohns39 it sounds delish! We prefer the red with beef too. Do you make your red sauce? I haven't found one that knocks my socks off yet, even homemade.

Give me a few. As I always do I find a base and then modify to my tastes.

Ok. Here's the base recipe I used. I made a double batch. I pushed up cummin to 1TBS doubled oregano and used 2 tsp of black pepper. Also added a tsp of chipolte. This was for a double recipe. Used my home ground whole wheat flour, my vegetable stock and my home canned tomato paste. With a double batch I was able to do one cake pan of enchiladas.

@rjohns39 thank you for sharing! I'm sure homemade stock and tomato paste really makes the recipe. I like the vegetable stock idea too. I wonder what that would taste like in the green sauce.
Do you roast your vegetables before you make the stock?

Yes!

Ok, I'm starting in the enchiladas!

I went to three stores to find poblano peppers and none had them.

My husband managed to find them at a produce stand about 2 hours away.
