on as the contents boil, place where it will
simmer for about two hours. When cooked, remove the strings, and serve
on a heated platter, with the strained gravy poured over it.
HAMBURGER POT DINNER
Mrs. Antonio Sterba
With two pounds hamburger steak, mix well one cup raw rice (wash well);
one medium sized onion, chopped; season and make into balls. Line bottom
of a pot with small pieces of suet; when this is melted, place meat
balls in the pot, cover with water, and cook until rice is about done.
Add one can of tomatoes (quart can). A half hour before serving, peel
enough medium-sized potatoes to circle the platter to be used. Place
these on top of tomatoes. When potatoes are done, arrange them around
the outside rim of the platter with the meat balls in the center, and
pour over the meat enough gravy for first serving. Remainder of gravy
may be used on table in a casserole or gravy dish. Care must be used in
measuring the rice--too much will cause the balls to fall to pieces. One
advantage of this dish is that it may be prepared the day before, or the
morning before serving, with the exception of the potatoes.
