Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup dried bread crumbs
- 1/2 onion minced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley diced
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
Cream Gravy
- 2 tablespoons leftover grease from meatballs or 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth unsalted
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon white pepper
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire
- ⅓ cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Combine the ground pork, dried bread crumbs, onion, garlic, parsley, eggs, all spice, nutmeg, salt and white pepper in a large bowl. Mix thoroughly with a stand mixer or with your hands.
- Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Scoop the meat mixture using a spoon or cookie scoop. Keep the meatballs uniform in size, about 1 inch in diameter. Roll the meat between your hands to shape into a ball. Place in the skillet and cook, turning the meatballs as they cook so all sides get a sear and the meatballs cook through. To check you can cut into a meatball to ensure that no pink remains in the center. Continue until all meatballs are cooked, should take two batches to prevent overcrowding.
- Remove the meatballs from the skillet. Drain most of the grease, keeping about 2 tablespoons.
- Return the skillet to the stovetop. Whisk in the flour until a thick paste forms. Cook for 2-3 minutes.
- Whisk in the beef broth. Whisk until smooth and all flour is incorporated.
- Add salt and pepper. Whisk. Bring to a simmer. Add in the worcestershire sauce and heavy cream, whisk to combine.
- Add in the meatballs and let simmer for 10 minutes.
- Serve warm over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
