Ingredients
  

  • 1½ lb ground pork beef or turkey
  • ⅓ cup breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup finely minced onion
  • 1 large egg
  • ¼ cup milk
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • ¼ tsp ground nutmeg
  • ¼ tsp ground allspice
  • ¼ tsp black pepper
  • 1 –2 tbsp neutral oil
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 tsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • Chopped fresh or dried parsley
  • Cooked egg noodles mashed potatoes or rice for serving

Method
 

  1. In a large bowl, stir together meat, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, milk, salt, sugar, spices and pepper until just combined. Form into 1½-inch meatballs.
  2. Heat 1 tbsp oil in a 12″ nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium. Brown meatballs in batches, turning occasionally, until golden on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
  3. Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter, olive oil and flour; whisk constantly for 2 minutes to cook off the raw flour taste.
  4. Gradually whisk in beef broth by ½-cup increments, letting sauce thicken and smooth out between additions. Stir in brown sugar and Dijon; bring to a gentle simmer.
  5. Nestle meatballs back into the sauce. Cover and cook 10–12 minutes until meatballs are cooked through, stirring once.
  6. Remove from heat; whisk in sour cream until silky. Garnish with parsley and serve over noodles, potatoes or rice.
