Directions:
Meatballs:
1 - Melt butter. Saute onions until translucent and softened, about 3-4 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2 - Cover a large jelly roll pan with foil and lightly spray with cooking spray. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
3 - Place bread pieces in a large mixing bowl. Pour milk over bread and soak for 15 - 20 minutes. Once bread has soaked up the milk, stir well with a fork.
4 - Add spices and stir well. Taste for seasoning, then add eggs and mix well. Add ground pork and beef chuck and mix well starting with a fork and then using your hands.
5 - Form meatballs with your hands using about 3 T of the meat mixture. Place on foil lined sheet pan. Bake in preheated oven 20 - 30 minutes. (Internal temperature should register at least 160 degrees.)

Sauce:
1 - Melt butter in large saute pan. Add flour and stir making a roux. Cook roux a few minutes until golden in color stirring continuously with a whisk.
2 - Slowly add beef stock to the roux stirring continuously as to avoid lumps.
3 - Stir in sugar, Worcestershire and heavy cream. Stir continuously over medium heat until sauce comes to a boil and begins to thicken.
4 - Put sour cream in a small bowl. Add about 1 c. of the sauce to the sour cream and whisk together. Once smooth, slowly add the sour cream mixture to the sauce whisking and stirring continuously until well incorporated and the sauce has a silky texture.
5 - Add cooked meatballs to the sauce and cook (covered) over low heat about 10 minutes.
6 - Serve over egg noodles and sprinkle with parsley for garnish.
