Happy Friday!!!  Are you ready for the weekend and an easy Friday night dinner?  Well,  I got you covered with these delicious Frikadellen.  Frikadellen are - at least by the German's account - staple in any kitchen.  Some call them Frikadellen, in Bavaria they are Fleischpflanzerl {Meatflowers} while in Swabia they are known as Fleischküchle.  All of them being savory delicious meat patties.  They are not only quick and easy to make but also delicious.  Another reason to love ground beef…yes,  beef is always a fantastic option for delicious, quick, and nutritious #WeekdaySuppers.
