Categories     Meat

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 lb lean ground beef
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 yellow onion, minced
1 egg
1/2 cup whipping cream
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 cup butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups milk
1/2 cup whipping cream

Steps:

  • Mix the ground beef, bread crumbs, onion, egg, cream, salt, and allspice in a bowl with your hands until evenly mixed. Roll the mixture into golf ball-sized balls.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook about half the meatballs in the melted butter until evenly browned on all sides, 5 to 7 minutes; remove to a plate and repeat with the remaining meatballs, keeping the liquid in the skillet when finished.
  • Sift the flour into the skillet drippings; cook the flour in the skillet drippings until brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Slowly stream the milk into the skillet while whisking vigorously; pour the cream into the mixture and stir until smooth. If you end up with some lumps you can pour the gravy through a strainer. Return all the meatballs to the skillet; stir to coat with the gravy. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until the meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes.

I followed the recipe exactly and the meatballs turned out great! They were moist and tender, and the sauce was very tasty. I served them with mashed potatoes and green beans, and my family loved them.

The meatballs were easy to make and cooked perfectly in the oven. I used ground beef and pork, and the combination was very flavorful. I will definitely be making these meatballs again, next time with the lingonberry preserves.
