Swedish Meatballs (From a Swede)

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan over low heat; cook and stir onion in melted butter until lightly browned 5 to 8 minutes.

Mix bread crumbs water and half-and-half in a large bowl; let stand for about 2 minutes. Stir cooked onion ground beef ground pork salt white pepper and sugar into bread crumb mixture until thoroughly mixed. Shape mixture into about 48 very small meatballs.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet; add meatballs. Brown slowly allowing about 25 minutes until meatballs are fully cooked in the middle and no longer pink. Shake pan occasionally to cook evenly.
