Ingredients
Ingredient Checklist

 2 slices day-old white bread, crumbled


 ½ cup heavy cream
 1 teaspoon butter
 1 small onion, minced
 ⅔ pound ground beef
 ⅓ pound finely ground pork
 1 egg
 1 tablespoon brown sugar (Optional)
 1 teaspoon salt
 ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
 ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg
 ¼ teaspoon ground allspice
 ⅛ teaspoon ground ginger (Optional)
 1 tablespoon butter
 ¼ cup chicken broth
 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour, or as needed
 2 cups beef broth, or as needed
 ½ (8 ounce) container sour cream
Directions
Instructions Checklist
 Step 1
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

 Step 2
Place the bread crumbs into a small bowl, and mix in the cream. Allow to stand until crumbs absorb the cream, about 10 minutes. While the bread is soaking,
melt 1 teaspoon of butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the onion until it turns light brown, about 10 minutes. Place onion into a mixing
bowl; mix with the ground beef, ground pork, egg, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger. Lightly mix in the bread crumbs and cream.

 Step 3
Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pinch off about 1 1/2 tablespoon of the meat mixture per meatball, and form into balls. Place
the meatballs into the skillet, and cook just until the outsides are brown, about 5 minutes, turning the meatballs often. Insides of the meatballs will still be
pink. Place browned meatballs into a baking dish, pour in chicken broth, and cover with foil.
 Step 4
Bake in the preheated oven until the meatballs are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove meatballs to a serving dish.

 Step 5
To make brown gravy, pour pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk the flour into the pan drippings until smooth, and gradually whisk in
enough beef broth to total about 2 1/2 cups of liquid. Bring the gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly until thick, about 5 minutes. Just before serving,
whisk in the sour cream. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Serve the gravy with the meatballs.
