Swedish Meatballs

Combine beef, onion, bread crumbs, eggs, 1/2 cup of half-and-half, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix well. Form into walnut-sized balls and place on a lightly greased shallow baking pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes or until brown.

Measure 2 tablespoons of fat from the baking pan (if there isn’t enough fat, use butter to equal 2 tablespoons) and place in a large saucepan. Stir in flour and instant broth. Cook, stirring, for 3-4 minutes. Whisk in remaining 1 1/2 cups half-and-half and continue cooking and stirring until sauce comes to a boil. Simmer for 1 minute. Add meatballs and simmer over low heat until hot.

Serve in a chafing dish or over hot buttered noodles.
