  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs Plain
  • 0.25 cup Milk
  • 1 large Egg
  • 1 small Onion Finely chopped
  • 2 tsp Salt

Preparation Steps

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, salt, allspice, and pepper. Mix well with your hands until evenly distributed.
  • Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Set aside.
  • In the same skillet, melt the remaining butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
  • Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth. Bring to a simmer, stirring constantly.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, soy sauce, and Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  • Serve hot with mashed potatoes or egg noodles and lingonberry jam.

Notes

For a richer flavor, use bone broth. You can also add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the gravy.
