Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 pound Ground Pork
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Milk
- 1 Onion chopped
- 1 Egg
- 1 tsp Kosher Salt
- 1/2 tsp Ground Black Pepper
- 1 tsp Ground All Spice
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
- 1/2 cup Heavy Cream
- 1/4 cup Sour Cream
- 2 tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 tbsp All Purpose Flour
Instructions
- Make the Meatballs. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs soaked in milk, egg, onion, and seasonings. Mix gently with your hands, then roll into 1-inch balls.
- Brown the Meatballs. In a skillet over medium heat, brown the meatballs in batches. Don’t cook them all the way through—just enough to form a crust. This adds flavor and helps them hold their shape in the slow cooker.
- Prepare the Sauce. In the same skillet, melt butter and whisk in flour to create a roux. Slowly add beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, whisking constantly until smooth. Transfer to the crockpot.
- Slow Cook. Place the browned meatballs in the crockpot with the sauce. Cover and cook on low for 4–5 hours or on high for 2–3 hours.
- Stir in Creams. 30 minutes before serving, stir in the heavy cream and sour cream. Let it warm through and thicken slightly before serving.
- Garnish and Serve. Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley and serve over buttery egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or even rice. Don’t forget a side of lingonberry jam for a sweet-tart contrast that’s totally traditional!
