INGREDIENTS

  • Main Ingredients

    • 2 slices day-old white bread, crumbled
    • 🥛 ½ cup heavy cream
    • 🧈 1 teaspoon butter
    • 🧅 1 small onion, minced
    • ⅔ pound ground beef
    • ⅓ pound finely ground pork
    • 🥚 1 large egg
    • 1 tablespoon brown sugar (Optional)
    • 🧂 1 teaspoon salt
    • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
    • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
    • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
    • ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger (Optional)
    • 🧈 1 tablespoon butter
    • ¼ cup chicken broth
    • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
    • 2 cups beef broth, or as needed
    • ½ (8 ounce) container sour cream

STEPS

1

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2

Place bread crumbs into a small bowl; mix in cream. Allow to stand until crumbs absorb cream, about 10 minutes.

3

Melt 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until light brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer onion to a mixing bowl.

4

Mix ground beef, ground pork, egg, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger with onion in the mixing bowl. Lightly mix in bread crumbs and cream.

5

Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pinch off about 1 ½ tablespoons meat mixture per meatball; form into balls. Place meatballs into the skillet and cook, turning often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Insides of meatballs will still be pink.

6

Place browned meatballs into a baking dish, pour in chicken broth, and cover with foil.

7

Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove meatballs to a serving dish.

8

Pour pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into drippings until smooth.

9

Gradually whisk in enough beef broth to total about 2 ½ cups liquid. Bring gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.

10

Just before serving, whisk in sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve gravy with meatballs.
