Ingredients
Meatballs
- 2 lices fresh white bread
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 tablespoons butter divided
- 1/2 cup finely chopped yellow or white onion
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1 pound ground chuck
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1 large egg yolk
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
Sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 ½ cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- salt and pepper to taste
- parsley optional
Instructions
- Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with the milk. Set aside.
- In a 12-inch saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter.
- Add the onion and a pinch of salt, and cook until onions are soft, about 4-5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine the bread/milk mixture, ground beef, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and onions.
- Using a 1.5 tablespoon cookie scoop, portion out meatballs.
- Heat the remaining tablespoon butter in the now-empty saute pan over medium-low heat.
- Working in batches, add the meatballs and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.**
- Remove the meatballs to a platter and tent with aluminum foil.
- Once all of the meatballs are cooked, decrease the heat to low, and melt 2 tablespoons butter.
- Add the flour to the pan, and cook until lightly browned, whisking regularly, about 1 minute.
- Gradually add the beef stock and cream, and whisk until sauce begins to thicken.
- Stir in sour cream and dijon mustard and cook until sauce begins to simmer.
- Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Add the meatballs back to the skillet, and simmer for 1-2 minutes.
- Serve over egg noodles topped with fresh parsley, if desired.
Notes
- If you use the ends of the loaf of bread, you will need 1/3 cup milk instead.
- You don't want to overcrowd the pan because the meatballs will steam instead of brown.
- It's important to just simmer the beef stock/cream mixture and the sour cream mixture. If you boil the gravy once you'd added dairy, it can separate.
