Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 19

2 slices white sandwich bread (crusts removed and cut into 1/4" pieces (or chopped in a food processor))
2 Tbsp heavy cream or whole milk
1 medium yellow onion (grated, saving any juices)
8 oz ground beef
8 oz ground pork
1 large egg
1 tsp dried parsley
1/2 tsp kosher salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (freshly grated is best)
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1 Tbsp vegetable oil
1 Tbsp unsalted butter
3 Tbsp unsalted butter
1/4 cup all purpose flour
3 cups reduced sodium beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/3 cup heavy whipping cream
minced fresh parsley (for garnish)

Steps:

  • Add bread cubes to large mixing bowl and top with heavy cream and grated onion (plus juices from grating the onion). Stir and let sit a minute or two. Mash with a fork.
  • Add beef, pork, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well.
  • Use small cookie scoop to scoop out and roll into roughly 1 inch wide meatballs.
  • Add oil and butter to large skillet and heat over MED/MED-HIGH heat. Add meatballs, working in batches (about half at a time), and cook on all sides, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining meatballs.
  • Drain off any excess oil but don't wipe out the skillet.
  • Add butter to skillet and heat over MED heat. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
  • Slowly add beef broth, whisking as you add it, until all broth is added. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
  • Once gravy is simmering, add all meatballs and simmer 5-7 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and gravy has started to thicken.
  • Stir in heavy cream and simmer another 2-3 minutes, until gravy is a smooth and silky sauce that coats the back of a wooden spoon.
  • Serve over buttered cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes and garnished with minced fresh parsley.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your meatballs will taste. Look for fresh, lean ground beef and pork, and use high-quality bread crumbs and seasonings.
  • Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the meatball mixture before cooking: This will help the meatballs hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart.
  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before simmering them in the sauce: This will give the meatballs a nice browned crust and help keep them moist.
  • Use a good quality gravy: The gravy is what really makes these meatballs special. Use a gravy that is flavorful and thick enough to coat the meatballs.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides: Mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or roasted vegetables are all great choices.
