# Ingredients:

→ Essentials

01 - 2 pounds of lean minced beef
02 - 4 slices of bread
03 - 1 whole cup of milk
04 - 1 small onion, chopped up finely
05 - 1 small bell pepper, minced
06 - 2 whole eggs
07 - 1 teaspoon of table salt
08 - 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
09 - 1 can of golden mushroom soup
10 - 1 can full of water

# Instructions:

01 - Set your oven's temperature to 350°F and let it warm up.
02 - Lay the bread slices in a large mixing bowl and pour milk over them. Wait for about 5 minutes until most of the milk soaks in.
03 - Use a knife to finely chop the onion and bell pepper.
04 - In the bowl with the soaked bread, add the onion, bell pepper, beef, eggs, salt, and pepper. Give everything a good mix until it's fully blended.
05 - In a skillet, heat up 1 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Scoop roughly 1 1/2 tablespoons of the mixture, shape it into a ball, and brown it in the hot oil. Flip to brown both sides.
06 - Once the meatballs are browned, set them on a paper towel to drain the oil. Then place them in a greased 9x13-inch casserole pan.
07 - Stir together the mushroom soup and water in a small bowl. Pour it evenly over the meatballs in the pan.
08 - Cover the top of the dish with foil, then bake in the oven for 45 minutes.
