Description
Tender, warmly spiced meatballs in a silky cream gravy, perfect for cozy dinners and holiday gatherings.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup milk-soaked breadcrumbs
- 1 small finely chopped onion (sautéed and cooled)
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 2 tbsp butter (for browning)
- 1 tbsp oil
- 2 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- Combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice in a bowl; mix until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1–1¼-inch meatballs and chill for 20–30 minutes.
- In a skillet, heat butter and oil over medium-high heat; brown meatballs for about 3 minutes per side.
- Remove meatballs and make the gravy by whisking flour into remaining butter in the same pan; gradually add beef broth, then stir in cream and Worcestershire sauce.
- Return meatballs to the sauce and simmer for 8–10 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 160°F.
Notes
Chilling the formed meatballs helps them hold together and stay tender.
