Yield about 90 meatballs

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced onions
2/3 cup fresh bread crumbs
1 cup water
3/4 pound lean ground beef
3/4 pound lean ground pork
2 large egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
4 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef stock

Steps:

  • In a small, heavy skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon butter. Add the onions and saute, stirring often until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • In the large bowl of an electric mixer, combine the bread crumbs and water. Let stand until soft, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the reserved onions along with the beef, pork, egg yolks, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Beat on low speed until smooth. Turn the mixer to high speed and beat until the mixture is light in color and fluffy, about 10 minutes. Using 2 spoons dipped in cold water, shape the meat into 1-inch balls.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 4 tablespoons butter. Cook the meatballs in batches of about 15 to 20 at a time and brown on all sides. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain briefly on paper towels before removing to a warmed serving platter. Cover to keep warm. When all the meatballs are cooked, reduce the heat to low and add the flour to the skillet. Cook, stirring, until lightly browned. Slowly add the beef stock. Cook, whisking, until the gravy is thick and smooth. Strain, if desired. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and serve hot.

Overall, these meatballs were a bit disappointing. I wouldn't make them again.

The meatballs were a bit dry. I would add more moisture next time, perhaps by using a different type of breadcrumb.

The meatballs fell apart when I tried to brown them. I would cook them more gently next time.

The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I would use less sugar next time.

The meatballs were a bit too dense for my liking. I would use a lighter touch when mixing them next time.

These meatballs are a great make-ahead meal. I often make them on the weekend, and then reheat them during the week.

These meatballs are a great way to get kids to eat their vegetables. They love the meatballs, and they don't even notice the vegetables.

I added a bit of Dijon mustard to the sauce, and it gave it a nice tang.

I used ground turkey instead of beef, and the meatballs were still very flavorful.

These meatballs are a great way to use up leftover mashed potatoes. They're also a great freezer meal.

These meatballs were absolutely delicious! The sauce was rich and flavorful, and the meatballs were tender and juicy. I served them over mashed potatoes and green beans, and my family loved them.
