Serves: 30 Meatballs
Ingredients
  • Meatball Ingredients:
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • ½ cup bread crumbs
  • 2 large egg yolks
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 package egg noodles, cook as directed
  • Gravy Ingredients:
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add onion, and cook, stirring frequently, until onions have become translucent, about 5-6 minutes; set aside.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, egg yolks, bread crumbs, nutmeg and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Using a spoon or just your hands, mix until well combined. Form the mixture into 1¼ inch meatballs, creating about 30 meatballs. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add meatballs, in batches of 6, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
  3. To make the gravy, melt butter in a large pan. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth. Keep whisking constantly until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Add in meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through, about 10 minutes.
  4. Serve immediately. Place meatballs and a large spoonful of sauce on top of egg noodles. Top it off with a sprinkle of parsley.
