Instructions

Meatballs
    Cup of Yum
  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, salt, pepper, diced onion, and parsley.
  2. In a separate medium bowl, combine bread crumbs, milk, and egg.
  3. Pour the milk mixture into the meat mixture and combine with your hands (without overworking the meat). Form into balls and set aside.
  4. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add the meatballs and cook through, rotating to brown all sides (about 20 minutes). You may have to work in batches if your skillet isn't large enough for all the meatballs.
  5. Transfer the cooked meatballs to a plate. Tent to keep warm as you make the gravy.
Gravy
  1. To the same skillet you cooked the meatballs, add butter and flour. Whisk until browned (1-2 minutes), scraping up any brown bits along the sides of the skillet.
  2. Add beef broth, sour cream, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
  3. Add the cooked meatballs to the gravy. Serve the meatballs and gravy over egg noodles or mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley (optional).
