Meatballs

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Make the Meatballs

    In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined.

  2. 2

    Shape the Meatballs

    Shape the mixture into small meatballs, approximately 1 inch in diameter.

  3. 3

    Cook the Meatballs

    In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until they are browned on all sides, about 10-12 minutes. Remove from skillet and set aside.

  4. 4

    Make the Gravy

    In the same skillet, add some butter and flour to create a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes until golden brown. Gradually whisk in beef broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened.

  5. 5

    Combine Meatballs and Gravy

    Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the gravy. Simmer for an additional 5 minutes.
