Swedish-Ish Meatballs - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    Meatballs:
    1 pound lean ground beef
    1/2 pound ground pork
    1/4 cup diced onion
    1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
    1 egg
    1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    2 pinches ground cinnamon
    2 pinches ground nutmeg
    2 pinches dried parsley
    salt and ground black pepper to taste
    2 tablespoons vegetable oil
    Gravy:
    1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
    1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
    1/4 cup sour cream
    1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
Preparation
    Mix ground beef, ground pork, onion, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly mixed; shape into twelve 2-inch balls.
    Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides and somewhat firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove browned meatballs with a slotted spoon to a slow cooker.
    Stir cornstarch into drippings remaining in the skillet; add beef broth. Bring the broth mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes. Stir sour cream into the broth mixture until smooth. Add mushrooms and stir. Season the sauce with salt and pepper; pour over meatballs in the slow cooker.
    Cook in slow cooker on High for 4 hours.
