Ingredients

Scale

Meatball Ingredients

  • 1 lb Ground Beef
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs
  • 1 Onion, finely chopped
  • 1 Egg
  • 1/4 tsp Nutmeg
  • Salt and Pepper to taste

Sauce Ingredients

  • 1 cup Heavy Cream
  • 2 cups Beef Broth

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix gently until just combined; be careful not to overmix, as this can lead to tough meatballs.
  2. Form the Meatballs: Using your hands, shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart.
  3. Cook the Meatballs: In a large skillet over medium heat, add a little oil and pan-fry the meatballs until they are browned on all sides. This should take about 5-7 minutes.
  4. Prepare the Sauce: Once the meatballs are browned, remove them from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add beef broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring to a simmer and let it thicken slightly.
  5. Combine and Simmer: Add the meatballs back to the skillet with the sauce. Cover and let them simmer for about 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully.

Notes

  • Don’t Overmix: Be gentle when mixing the meatball ingredients to keep them tender.
  • Chill the Mixture: Refrigerate the meatball mixture for about 30 minutes before forming them to help them hold their shape.
  • Use a Meat Thermometer: Ensure the meatballs are cooked through but still juicy; aim for an internal temperature of 160°F.
  • Make a Double Batch: These meatballs freeze beautifully, so consider making extra for a quick meal later.
  • Experiment with Seasoning: Feel free to adjust the spices to match your family’s preferences for a personal touch.
