INGREDIENTS

• 1 egg

• 1/2 cup fine dry bread crumbs
• 1 teaspoon each salt and sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon each ground ginger, nutmeg, and allspice
• 1 pound ground lean beef
• 1/2 pound ground pork
• 1 small onion, finely chopped
• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 tablespoon flour
• Chopped parsley, for garnish

DIRECTIONS

• In a large bowl beat egg with 1/2 cup of the milk. Blend in bread crumbs, salt, sugar, and spices. Thoroughly mix in ground meats and onion. Shape into meatballs about the size of walnuts.
• In a large, heavy frying pan, brown meatballs well in heated butter or margarine. As they brown, remove them to a heated dish in a 250° F. oven to keep warm.
• Pour off all but about 1 tablespoon of the fat. Cook flour in same pan, stirring, until bubbly and lightly browned. Gradually mix in the remaining 1 cup milk, cooking until thickened and smooth. Salt to taste. Return meatballs to pan, cover, and simmer 15 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.
