Simple and tasty meatballs in a cream sauce that’s just packed with flavour!

ingredients

• 4 slices bacon, chopped
• 1 small onion, finely diced
• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free for gluten-free)
• 6 cloves garlic, grated
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 3/4 teaspoon ground allspice
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 1/8 teaspoon ground cardamom
• salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (rice flour for gluten-free)
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1/2 cup sour cream (or heavy cream)
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
• salt and pepper to taste

directions

1. Cook the bacon in a pan and set aside before cooking the onion in the bacon drippings until tender.
2. Mix the ground beef, bacon, onion, egg, breadcrumbs, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, allspice, nutmeg, cardamom, salt and pepper and form into 1-2 tablespoon meatballs.
3. Cook the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat until lightly browned on all sides and set aside. (You may need to work in batches.)
4. Melt the butter in the skillet, sprinkle in the flour and cook until lightly golden brown.
5. Add the broth and deglaze by scraping all of the brown bits off the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon while the broth sizzles.
6. Add the cream, Worcestershire sauce, mustard and meatballs, season with salt and pepper to taste and simmer until the sauce has thickened, about 5-10 minutes before enjoying!
