- 2 cups breadcrumb­s ½ cup milk 8 ounces ground beef 8 ounces sausage meat (spicy) ½ teaspoon hot pepper sauce 1 teaspoon garlic salt ½ teaspoon onion powder 1 teaspoon soy sauce ½ teaspoon monosodium glutamate (optional) 5-ounce can of sliced water che

Karen, in fact I do, and here it is:

Mix the breadcrumb­s and milk in a large bowl. Add all other ingredient­s and mix well. Roll the meat mix into 1 ½-inch balls and place on an ungreased cookie sheet with sides, close together (these shrink when cooked). Bake at 350 degrees until well-done and golden brown (about 30 to 40 minutes). Remove from the oven and drain on a paper towel. Serve with spicy jelly sauce. To make the sauce, use equal portions of grape jelly and cocktail (red, shrimp) sauce. Stirring constantly, cook over a low heat until bubbling. Remove from heat and pour over meatballs.

Dear Heloise:

My son and I are concerned about the possible dangers of cooking with aluminum cookware. Yet our stores continue to sell aluminum items for food preparatio­n. What’s the answer?

— Fil B., Camarillo, Calif.

Fil, the debate rages on. Nearly all aluminum cookware today is anodized, which means that very little aluminum is leached from the product, especially if it’s coated with a nonstick material. However, there are many products that contain aluminum, such as cans for beverages, cake mixes, toothpaste­s, antacids and baking powder, just to name a few. Some experts feel it’s not the aluminum from cookware, but rather the cumulative effects of aluminum in so many products that might cause toxic levels in the body, although ingested aluminum is most often excreted in the urine.
