Instructions
- Meatballs: In a large bowl combine beef, pork, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Using your hands mix until combined.
- Form the mixture into 20 meatballs.
- Heat a 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add half of the meatballs into the skillet and cook until browned on each side and cooked through. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil. Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil and butter to the skillet. Repeat with the remaining meatballs, transferring them to the covered plate as well.
- Gravy: In the same skillet over medium heat add the butter and flour, whisking together until combined and brown, about 3 minutes. Slowly stream in the broth and cream, whisking constantly to combine. Add in the Worcestershire sauce and mustard, stir and cook, stirring frequently until thickened. Salt and pepper to taste.
