Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 18

3 tablespoons butter
1 onion, chopped
2 slices bread, cubed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk, divided
1 ½ pounds ground beef
½ pound ground pork
2 eggs
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground allspice
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon lemon pepper
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
4 cups beef stock
¼ cup all-purpose flour
¼ cup sherry

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the melted butter until tender, 5 to 10 minutes.
  • Place bread cubes in a bowl; pour 1/2 cup evaporated milk over bread cubes. Set aside until bread cubes absorb milk.
  • Mix ground beef, ground pork, cooked onion, bread cube mixture, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, nutmeg, allspice, salt, lemon pepper, and ground black pepper together in a large bowl. Form mixture into golf ball-sized meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in the same skillet used for onion over medium-high heat; cook meatballs in the hot oil, turning with tongs, until all sides are browned, 10 to 15 minutes. Pour in beef stock and simmer until meatballs are cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer meatballs to a serving bowl, reserving liquid in the skillet.
  • Remove 1 cup beef stock from skillet; whisk flour into the 1 cup stock until smooth. Pour flour mixture back into skillet, whisking until mixture is smooth. Gradually whisk remaining evaporated milk and sherry into beef stock mixture. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until gravy is warmed and smooth, 5 to 10 minutes. Pour gravy over meatballs to serve.

Categories     Veal

Time 1h

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 lb ground beef
1/2 lb ground pork
1/2 lb ground veal
1 teaspoon instant minced onion
1 egg
2 slices white bread, no crusts
1 dash salt and pepper (for meatballs)
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 tablespoons margarine
3 tablespoons flour
1 quart half-and-half
1 teaspoon Gravy Master or 1 teaspoon Kitchen Bouquet
salt and pepper (for sauce)
12 ounces wide egg noodles

Steps:

  • Mix beef, pork, and veal together in a bowl with the onions, egg, white bread broken up into small pieces, and sprinkling of salt and pepper.
  • Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball or a little smaller.
  • Saute meatballs in melted margarine and the oil until browned.
  • Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
  • Add flour to the grease in the pan(to make a roux) and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds.
  • Add 1/2 of the carton of half and half, the gravy master, and salt and pepper to taste.
  • Stir until it starts to thicken, and then add meatballs back to the pan.
  • Simmer on low for 40 minutes.
  • As it thickens more, you can add the rest of the half and half as needed. (I usually end up adding the rest little by little because I like it saucey and because some of the sauce cooks away while simmering.).
  • Re-season with salt and pepper to your taste, before serving on top of cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
