Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 400º.
Saute onion in the butter over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Turn heat to medium low and whisk in milk, Worcestershire, allspice, nutmeg, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer then remove from heat.
Place cubed bread in a bowl and pour onion mixture over top. Mix well and let cool.
Mix cooled bread-onion mix into beaten egg, ground pork and ground beef. Shape into 1-inch meatballs and place on two greased baking sheets, 5 across and 6 down.
Bake for 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serve topped with gravy over egg noodles (store bought or homemade) or mashed potatoes, garnished with parsley (dried or fresh).
Gravy Directions:
In a large skillet, melt butter on medium heat. Whisk in the flour slowly and cook until smooth and slightly darkened.
Add the beef broth, allspice, salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce whisking the whole time and bring to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to medium low and stir until gravy thickens.
Stir in sour cream, mix well, and serve warm on too of meatballs.
I found that this makes 2 or 3 dinners worth of meatballs (with leftovers). So I freeze whatever we don't eat and take out the next time we want this meal. |
