Ingredients
  • 1 small yellow onion
  • 2 slices white sandwich bread, crusts removed and chopped
  • 3/4 lb ground beef
  • 3/4 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the sauce:
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For serving:
  • Mashed potatoes
  • Lingonberry Jam
Preparation
  1. Grate onion into a medium bowl, along with any accumulated juices. Add chopped bread and mix to combine. Set aside for bread to soak in juices; if there's not enough liquid, add a splash of milk.
  2. Add ground beef, ground pork, egg, nutmeg, allspice, garlic powder, black pepper, and salt to the bowl. Using your hands, mix until just combined.
  3. Scoop out in tablespoon-sized balls and roll into shape.
  4. Meanwhile, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add meatballs in batches to avoid crowding pan, and brown all over, about 3 minutes. Remove to a plate or tray.
  5. Once all meatballs are browned, lower heat to medium. Add butter and melt, then stir in flour and cook 1 minute, stirring continuously.
  6. Whisk in a small amount of the beef broth, then gradually add the remaining broth, whisking as you go.
  7. Bring to a simmer, then add meatballs and any accumulated juices back to skillet.
  8. Increase heat and let simmer until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened, 8-10 minutes.
  9. Stir in cream, season to taste, and let cook 2 minutes more.
  10. Serve over mashed potatoes with a side of lingonberry jam and enjoy!
