Ingredients:
Meatballs:
2 tbsp olive oil, divided
3 slices of white bread, crust were removed and cut into small cubes (about ½ c)
1 tsp salt
½ large onion, grated on the large holes of a box grater
1 lb. of ground beef
1 Egg
½ c milk
⅛ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp black pepper
¼ tsp ground allspice
1 lb. ground pork
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1 tbsp salted butter
Sauce:
1 c heavy cream
⅓ c all-purpose flour
½ tsp salt
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
¼ c salted butter
¼ tsp pepper
3 c beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Directions:
In a mixing bowl, add milk and cubed bread. Allow the bread to soak for at least 10 minutes.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium. Add 1 tbsp of olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add onion into the hot skillet, then sauté for a few minutes until translucent. Move it onto a clean plate to cool.
In the bowl with the soaked bread, add allspice, ground pork, garlic powder, ground beef, salt, egg, nutmeg, pepper, and sauteed onions. Use your clean hands to mix everything until well incorporated.
Make 30 bite-size meatballs out of the meat mixture. Place them onto a baking sheet.
In the same skillet over medium-high heat, add the rest of the butter and oil.
Add the meatballs in batches into the hot skillet, then cook all sides for about 5 minutes or until they turn brown. Transfer them onto a clean plate. Cook the rest of the meatballs.
In the empty skillet, add 1/4 cup butter and allow it to melt. Add cream, Worcestershire sauce, broth, salt, and pepper. Whisk everything until well incorporated. Let it simmer for 2 minutes or until thick.
Bring the meatballs back into the skillet, then toss to coat with the sauce. Simmer for 10 more minutes. Remove from the heat.
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley on top to garnish.
Serve right away over rice, egg noodles, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
Notes:
You can bake these meatballs for about 20 minutes at 400 degrees F.
Leftovers should be kept in an airtight container, then put in the fridge.
