Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, salt, pepper, and allspice in a bowl. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate.
  3. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs in batches and cook, turning occasionally, until browned, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from skillet.
  4. Melt the butter in the same skillet. Whisk in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.
  5. Whisk in the beef broth, smoothing out lumps. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally.
  6. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened.
  7. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper. Heat through.
  8. Add the meatballs to the sauce and stir gently to coat. Simmer for another 5 minutes.
  9. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.

Notes

For a twist, consider adding a splash of red wine to the sauce or using ground turkey for a leaner option.
