Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned)
- 1 large egg
- 1 medium onion (finely chopped)
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/4 tsp nutmeg
- 1/4 tsp allspice
- 4 cups low-sodium chicken broth
- 1 cup heavy cream
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix gently until just combined.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch wide) using wet hands to prevent sticking.
- Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches for about 5-7 minutes total; remove and set aside.
- In the same pot, add chicken broth while scraping up any brown bits from the bottom. Bring to a simmer.
- Stir in the heavy cream and add the browned meatballs back to the pot. Simmer for an additional 10-15 minutes until cooked through.
