  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Approximately 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb ground beef and pork mixture
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp allspice
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork with breadcrumbs. Mix in finely chopped onion and egg until well combined. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice.
  2. Roll the mixture into small balls (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on a lined baking tray.
  3. In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add meatballs and cook until browned on all sides (approximately 8-10 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt more butter. Whisk in flour until golden brown, then gradually add beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps.
  5. Once thickened slightly, remove from heat and stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet, gently coat with sauce, and let simmer on low heat for about 5 minutes.
  7. Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
