Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef 80/20 preferred
- ½ lb ground pork
- 1 small yellow onion finely grated or minced
- 1 garlic clove minced
- ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
- ⅓ cup whole milk
- 1 egg
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
- 1 tsp kosher salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp butter for browning
For the creamy gravy
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth low sodium
- 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- ½ cup sour cream room temperature
- Salt and pepper to taste
For serving
- 12 oz wide egg noodles
- 2 tbsp salted butter
- Chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs and milk. Rest 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, combine beef, pork, onion, garlic, soaked breadcrumbs, egg, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined.
- Roll into 1 ½-inch meatballs (about 20–24).
- Melt 2 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs in batches, 5–7 minutes, then transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt 3 tbsp butter. Whisk in flour and cook 2 minutes.
- Slowly whisk in beef broth. Add Worcestershire and Dijon. Simmer until slightly thickened.
- Reduce heat to low. Whisk in sour cream until smooth (do not boil). Season with salt and pepper as needed.
- Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer 10–12 minutes until cooked through.
- Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Drain and toss with 2 tbsp butter.
- Serve meatballs and gravy over buttered noodles. Garnish with parsley if desired.
Notes
Don’t overmix the meatball mixture—mix just until combined for the most tender texture.
Keep sour cream at room temp and add it over low heat so the sauce stays smooth.
If the gravy thickens too much, whisk in a splash of broth while reheating.
