This is such a delicious and comforting meal. It is really very easy and I recommend making the meatballs rather than using frozen ones. I like to serve buttered noodles as a side or over mashed potatoes! Recipe is from Family Circle.

Provided by JACANA

Time 1h10m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 24

½ cup milk
⅓ cup dry bread crumbs
2 tablespoons heavy cream
1 teaspoon heavy cream
1 large egg
1 large clove garlic, minced
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
¼ teaspoon ground allspice
1 pound ground beef
½ pound ground pork
½ medium onion, minced
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon salted butter
2 teaspoons olive oil
⅓ cup salted butter
¼ cup all-purpose flour
1 cup vegetable broth
1 cup beef broth
1 cup heavy cream
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Mix milk, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside to soak until bread crumbs have absorbed the milk, at least 10 minutes.
  • Mix in beef, pork, onion, and parsley, using your hands to mix until well combined. Roll into about 24 small meatballs or 16 larger meatballs.
  • Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry meatballs in small batches until cooked through and browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil.
  • Add butter for gravy sauce to the pan juices. Melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook and whisk until flour dissolves and turns brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, beef broth, cream, soy sauce, and Dijon. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine all of the flavors together. Continue to simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Add meatballs to the gravy. Toss gently to coat and serve.

  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
