Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup dry breadcrumbs
1/2-1 cup nonfat milk (skim)
2 eggs
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon clove
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 lbs extra lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
1 tablespoon butter

Steps:

  • Combine bread crumbs and milk; let stand 10 minutes. Regarding the milk, 1 cup turned out meatballs that were very loose, but I'm not sure how much would be right. (Please give feedback so that we can finetune this recipe.).
  • Add eggs, seasonings and flour. Beat 2 minutes at medium speed of mixer. Add beef and pork; mix just until combined.
  • Make meatballs about 2 inches wide, using about 3 T. of meat mixture for each one. (A small ice cream scoop works great.).
  • Melt butter over medium heat. Place meatballs in it. Flatten slightly. Cook 8-10 minutes until they're browned on both sides and no longer pink inside. You'll probably have to make in batches. Placed cooked ones on a platter and keep them warm while preparing others.
