In a separate bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef and 1 pound of ground pork by hand until well mixed.

Wet hands under running water to prevent meat from sticking while forming meatballs.

Form meatballs of uniform size and place them close together on a baking sheet.

Bake meatballs in the oven for 20 minutes.

Let meatballs cool slightly before removing them from the pan.

In a pan, combine 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of water, and 1 package of onion soup, and heat on medium.

Add the meatballs to the pan and warm them up.
