Steps:
- Add bread cubes to large mixing bowl and top with heavy cream and grated onion (plus juices from grating the onion). Stir and let sit a minute or two. Mash with a fork.
- Add beef, pork, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well.
- Use small cookie scoop to scoop out and roll into roughly 1 inch wide meatballs.
- Add oil and butter to large skillet and heat over MED/MED-HIGH heat. Add meatballs, working in batches (about half at a time), and cook on all sides, until browned and mostly cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove to a plate and repeat with remaining meatballs.
- Drain off any excess oil but don't wipe out the skillet.
- Add butter to skillet and heat over MED heat. Once melted, whisk in flour and cook, stirring occasionally for 2 minutes.
- Slowly add beef broth, whisking as you add it, until all broth is added. Whisk in Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
- Once gravy is simmering, add all meatballs and simmer 5-7 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and gravy has started to thicken.
- Stir in heavy cream and simmer another 2-3 minutes, until gravy is a smooth and silky sauce that coats the back of a wooden spoon.
- Serve over buttered cooked egg noodles or mashed potatoes and garnished with minced fresh parsley.

POTATO CHUNK SWEDISH MEATBALLS
A very old Swedish recipe. We always have this on Christmas. The recipe says to serve this with a separate gravy-we just make a simple gravy from the pan drippings. I have substituted venison for the beef.
