Meatball Ingredients

1 pound of beef/veal/pork mix

1 small onion finely minced

1 egg

1/3 cup breadcrumbs soaked in ¼ cup light or heavy cream

2 TB fresh parsley

Dash of nutmeg and cinnamon

1 tsp Hippy Pilgrim Original or Pinot Noir Garlic Salt

Directions

Combine all ingredients, form into small meatballs using a mini ice cream scoop ( makes 32) and bake at 350 for 15 minutes.

Sauce Ingredients

2 cups beef gravy OR 2 cups beef stock plus 2 TB butter and 2 TB flour to make a roux and thicken the beef stock

1 cup light cream

1/2 cup strong coffee

Dash cinnamon and nutmeg

3 TB Worcestershire Sauce during the last few minutes of cooking

Whisk all sauce ingredients and add to a crockpot. Add the cooked meatballs along with any juices and cook on low for an hour. Then increase to high for an hour until the sauce thickens. Then add the Worcestershire Sauce and stir. Serve with the potato salad recipe below which is also my mom's which I've added my seasonings to for a more modern version.
