Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook meatballs in batches until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes. Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, whisk in flour to make a roux. Gradually add beef broth, stirring constantly until smooth.
Stir in heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Return meatballs to the skillet and cook for another 5 minutes until the gravy thickens.
