Ingredients

Scale

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 lb Ground Pork
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 finely chopped Onion
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg

Sauce Ingredients

  • 2 cups Beef Broth
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined but do not overwork the meat.
  2. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about one inch in diameter. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  3. Brown the Meatballs: In a large skillet, heat some oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove and set aside once browned.
  4. Make the Sauce: In the same skillet, add beef broth and scrape up any brown bits from the bottom. Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer until slightly thickened.
  5. Combine Meatballs and Sauce: Add the browned meatballs back into the skillet with the sauce. Cover and let them simmer for about 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: Mix the meat gently to keep the meatballs tender.
  • Chill the Mixture: If time allows, refrigerate the meat mixture for 30 minutes before forming meatballs for easier handling.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: For uniform meatballs, use a cookie scoop to ensure they are all the same size.
  • Add Fresh Herbs: Incorporate fresh parsley or dill for added flavor and a pop of color.
  • Monitor Cooking Time: Avoid overcooking the meatballs to prevent them from becoming dry.
