Instructions

1. 1Combine the bread crumbs, ground nutmeg, allspice, and garlic powder in a medium bowl. In a large bowl, mix the ground beef and pork blend with the grated onion, then whisk the eggs and add to the meat. Add the breadcrumb mixture and combine with your hands until just evenly mixed—avoid overmixing.
2. 2Divide and shape the meat mixture into 16 meatballs, packing tightly. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then carefully add the meatballs. Cook 3 minutes per side over medium heat until deeply browned on the outside (they do not need to be cooked through). Remove the meatballs and set aside on a plate.
3. 3Add the butter to the same skillet over medium heat and let it melt, then whisk in the flour. Cook the roux 2 minutes over medium heat, stirring constantly, until it turns light golden brown.
4. 4Slowly whisk in the beef broth while scraping up all the browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat and cook 3–5 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
5. 5Stir in the Worcestershire sauce, ground nutmeg, and heavy cream. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed with salt and pepper.
6. 6Return the meatballs to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce. Cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes until the meatballs are heated through and internal temperature reaches 160°F.
7. 7Divide the meatballs and sauce evenly into 4 airtight containers while hot. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
