Ingredients

2 c. bread crumbs
1/2 c. milk
1 lb. ground beef
1 lb. ground pork
3 eggs
salt and pepper
3 c. beef broth
2 c. heavy cream
3 Tbsp. gravy maker seasoning
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. allspice
1 tsp. MSG
1/4 tsp. cloves
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
3 to 4 Tbsp. cornstarch

Preparation

In large mixing bowl, soak bread crumbs in milk for 5 minutes. Add meat, eggs, salt, pepper, cardamom and chopped onions.
Mix well and roll into 1 to 1 1/2-inch meatballs.
Saute meatballs in 1/4 cup butter approximately 20 minutes.
In a separate skillet, saute sliced onions with 1/4 cup butter, sugar and pepper until caramelized, about 10 to 15 minutes.
Remove mixture from both pans and place on separate plates.
Deglaze both saute pans with the remaining 1/2 cup butter and beef broth, scraping up the browned bits.
Cook over high heat for 1 minute.
Place the contents of both saute pans into 1 large pot and add cream, onions, gravy maker seasoning and spices and bring to a simmer.
Make a slurry with cornstarch and water.
Whisk the slurry into the mixture to thicken.
Add meatballs and simmer approximately 20 to 30 minutes.
