Equipment

  • Mixing Bowl
  • Measuring Cups & Spoons
  • 9 inch Skillet + Lid

Ingredients
  

Meat

  • 1/4 c Onion finely diced
  • 1 tbsp Butter
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 1/2 c Bread Crumbs
  • 1 Egg
  • 2 tbsp Milk
  • 1/4 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Parsley
  • 1/8 tsp Allspice sub nutmeg

Sauce

  • 1 c Beef Broth
  • 1/2 c Sour Cream
  • 1 tbsp All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire Sauce
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1/4 tsp Pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Paprika

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a skillet over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, finely dice the onion. Once the butter has melted, add the diced onion to the pan and saute until the onions are soft and slightly browned (~5 minutes).
  • Place the sauted onions in a medium sized mixing bowl. Place the skillet back onto the burner and turn off the heat.
  • Add the remaining meat ingredients to the bowl with the onion. Mix the ingredients until thoroughly combined (hands will make the best spoon here).
  • Then, form the meat into individual meatballs measuring about 1-2 inches in diameter.
  • Turn the heat to medium and place the meatballs on the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and allow the meatballs to cook, uncovered, until the outsides are no longer pink (ideally, the meatballs are still pink on the inside).
  • Then, turn the heat up to high. Turn the meatballs and allow them to cook until all sides are browned.
    Note: The pan should be uncovered at this point. Additionally, the meatballs should be turned frequently to ensure that all sides are browning and that none are burning.
  • While the meatballs are cooking, mix together all of the sauce ingredients in a mixing bowl. Use a fork or whisk to help break up the flour and sour cream.
  • Once all sides of the meatballs are browned, pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs. Allow the sauce to cook over high heat until the sauce is slightly thickened (5-10 minutes).
  • Remove the pan from the stove and allow to slightly cool before serving. Then, enjoy!
