Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 large egg
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • Pepper (to taste)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
  • ¼ cup butter (1/2 stick)
  • ⅓ cup flour
  • 3 cups beef broth
  • ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • ½ cup full-fat sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, egg, panko breadcrumbs, salt, garlic powder, onion powder, allspice, nutmeg, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form the mixture into meatballs (about 1¼ – 1½ inches) and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides (5–7 minutes per batch). Set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour until golden. Gradually add beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps.
  5. Stir in Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer for about 10 minutes until cooked through.
  6. Remove from heat and stir in sour cream for added creaminess. Adjust seasoning if needed.
