Ingredients
  

1 pound ground beef

1/2 pound ground pork

1 small onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup breadcrumbs

1/4 cup milk

1 large egg

1 teaspoon ground allspice

1 teaspoon ground nutmeg

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

3 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

2 cups beef broth

1 cup heavy cream

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

2 tablespoons soy sauce

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined, being careful not to overwork the meat.

    Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.

      In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.

        In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and add some extra olive oil if needed. Sprinkle in any leftover meatball bits for added flavor.

          Pour in beef broth and bring to a simmer while scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan.

            Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and soy sauce. Allow the sauce to simmer for 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.

              Return the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for another 10 minutes until cooked through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as desired.

                Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley. Enjoy these meatballs over creamy mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or with a side of lingonberry sauce.
