Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 1 tablespoon butter (or olive oil)
  • 1/2 cup onion (minced)
  • 1/2 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup whole-wheat breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pinch allspice
  • 5 large carrots (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)
  • 2 tablespoons whole-wheat flour
  • 1 1/2 cups broth (beef, chicken, or veggie)
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
  • salt (to taste)
  • pepper (to taste)

Instruction

  • In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook the onions while stirring occasionally until they begin to soften, 2 or 3 minutes.
  • Dump the cooked onions into a large bowl along with the beef, pork, breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup heavy cream, and spices. Mix well by hand and form into 1 1/2 inch meatballs.
  • Turn the skillet to medium high and add the meatballs and carrots. Cook until the meatballs are brown and almost crispy on all sides, about 5 to 6 minutes. 
  • Sprinkle the flour over top and cook while stirring for another minute to allow it to absorb. Pour in the broth, 1/2 cup cream, and soy sauce and bring to a boil while scraping the brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Simmer until the sauce thickens to a gravy. the meatballs are cooked all the way through, and the carrots are tender when pierced with a fork, 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Season with salt and pepper, spoon over whole-wheat egg noodles, and serve.
