Spinach Meatballs

This is a classic family recipe from my Mamas side :)
*You can make it a little bit lighter by subsituting the whole fat butter for light butter, and using skim milk instead of regular milk.

1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1 pkg frozen chopped, cooked and drained spinach
2 eggs
2 T minced onion
1 t seasoned salt
flour
1/2 cup butter
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 1/2 cups milk
*If you're an extreme mushroom lover like myself, add some sauteed mushrooms in the sauce before simmering.  I eliminate them because the hubby doesn't care for them :)

Combine 1st five ingredients in a medium sized mixing bowl.  Evenly mix together.  Set up a plate with flour and start heating butter up in a large skillet.  Mold the mixture in the bowl into golf ball sized meatballs, coat in flour, then brown the meatballs in the skillet until cooked through.  In a medium sized pot add soup and milk, salt & pepper and meatballs.  Simmer for 1/2 hour.

Serve with mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
