2 Tbsp vegetable oil
4 Tbsp butter

2 ½ c boiling water
Directions
1 In a large bowl, soak the bread in hot milk until absorbed, completely. Add all remaining ingredients; mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Brown meatballs in a large nonstick skillet, add a little oil if necessary to keep meatballs from sticking to the pan.
2 Drain; place meatballs in a large casserole dish. Preheat over to 350 degrees.
3 to make the Gravy: melt 4 Tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan. Stir in 4 Tbsp. all-purpose flour. Mix 2 tsp. beef bouillon base into 2 1/2 c boiling water, mix into flour mixture. Cook and stir until thickened. Pour over the meatballs and bake for 30 minutes. Serve over hot cooked rice or cooked egg noodles.
