Steps:
- Meatballs: Stir together eggs, cream, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Mix in ground meats, breadcrumbs, potatoes, and onion with your hands. Cover, and refrigerate at least 1 hour and up to overnight.
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Form meatball mixture into 1 1/4-inch balls, and place on a rimmed baking sheet.
- Preheat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add oil. Working in batches (do not crowd skillet), brown meatballs all over, about 30 seconds on each side. Transfer to another rimmed baking sheet, and bake 20 minutes.
- Cream sauce: Meanwhile, add cream to drippings in skillet, and simmer until reduced by half, 25 to 27 minutes. Add soy sauce, and simmer until sauce coats the back of a spoon, about 5 minutes. Stir in salt and pepper. Transfer meatballs to a platter, and drizzle with cream sauce. Serve with beets, cucumbers, and lingonberry sauce.
Tips:
- Choose the right ground beef: For the best meatballs, use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. The pork adds moisture and flavor to the meatballs.
- Season the meatballs well: Don't be afraid to season the meatballs liberally. A good combination of salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning will give the meatballs great flavor.
- Don't overmix the meatballs: Overmixing the meatballs will make them tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
- Brown the meatballs in a skillet before adding them to the sauce: This will help to keep the meatballs from falling apart in the sauce.
- Use a good quality cream sauce: The cream sauce is what really makes this dish special. Use a sauce that is made with fresh cream and butter, and that has a rich, flavorful taste.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite pasta or rice: Meatballs with cream sauce are a classic dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular options include spaghetti, mashed potatoes, or rice.
Conclusion:
Meatballs with cream sauce is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste.
