This is Alton Brown's. It is so close to my mom's meatballs made at Christmas time each year. I love them.

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 slices fresh white bread
1/4 cup milk
3 tablespoons clarified butter, divided
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 pinch kosher salt
3/4 lb ground chuck
3/4 lb ground pork
2 large egg yolks
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3 cups beef broth (I use Swanson's)
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 200 degrees. Tear bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with milk. Set aside.
  • Melt 1 tablespoon of the butter in a large electric skillet over low heat. Add onion and pinch of salt and sweat until onions are soft. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In the bowl of a electric mixer, combine bread and milk mixture, ground chuck, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and cooked onions. Beat on medium speed for 1-2 minutes.
  • Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1 ounce portions and place on a sheet pan (an ice cream scoop heals here). Shape meatballs into rounds.
  • Heat remaining butter in the skillet over medium-low heat, or set to 250 degrees. Add meatballs and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 7-10 minutes. Remove meatballs to an ovenproof dish using a slotted spoon and place in warmed oven.
  • Decrease heat to low and add flour to skillet. Whisk until lightly browned, approximately 1-2 minutes. Gradually add beef stock and whisk until sauce begins to thicken. Add cream and continue to cook until gravy reaches the desired consistency. Remove the meatballs from the oven, cover with the gravy and serve.

I've made these meatballs several times now and they are always a hit. They are so easy to make and the flavor is amazing. I love that I can make them ahead of time and just reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

These meatballs were easy to make and turned out great! I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very flavorful. The sauce was also very good. I served them over mashed potatoes and they were a hit with my family.
