Ingredients
- 1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg large
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork
- 1/4 cup onion finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/3 cup heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Instructions
- In a bowl, mix breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, nutmeg, pepper, and salt. Let sit for 5 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb the milk.
- Add the ground beef, ground pork, and onion to the breadcrumb mixture. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overmix.
- Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs. In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides.
- Remove meatballs and set aside. In the same skillet, add the flour to the remaining butter and whisk for 1 minute. Gradually add beef broth, whisking continuously until the sauce thickens.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce, and bring to a simmer. Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.
- Devour!
