🍳 Recipe Steps:
1️⃣ Make the Meatball Mix
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, eggs, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg.
Grate the onion and garlic directly into the bowl.

Cut off bread crusts. Tear the slices into small pieces and soak in the milk.
Mash into a smooth paste and mix into the meat.

Form into small balls, rolling tightly for best texture.
4️⃣ Brown the Meatballs
Heat oil in a pan. Fry the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides.
Remove from the pan and set aside.

In the same pan, melt the butter. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute until lightly golden.
6️⃣ Build the Sauce
Slowly add the beef stock while stirring until smooth and slightly thickened.
Add salt and pepper to taste.
7️⃣ Finish with Cream & Simmer
Return the meatballs to the pan. Simmer for 6–7 minutes.
Add the cream and cook for another 5 minutes to bring everything together.
8️⃣ Serve & Enjoy
