Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup ground beef (lean)
  • 1 cup ground pork
  • 1 cup fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup whole milk
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil (for browning)
  • 2 tbsp flour (for gravy)
  • 2 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 tbsp Dijon mustard

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, mix ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, milk, nutmeg, salt, and pepper until just combined.
  2. With wet hands, form the mixture into uniform meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add flour to remaining fat; whisk until golden brown. Gradually stir in beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
  5. Mix in sour cream and Dijon mustard; simmer until slightly thickened.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet and coat with gravy; simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes.
  7. Serve hot over mashed potatoes or noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
