Instructions
Soak breadcrumbs in milk for 5 minutes. Combine with beef, pork, egg, grated onion, allspice, nutmeg, and 1/2 tsp salt. Mix gently and form into 24 small meatballs.
Melt 1 tbsp butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs in batches for 3-4 minutes, turning to brown all sides. They don't need to be cooked through yet. Remove to a plate.
In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth, then heavy cream and soy sauce. Bring to a simmer.
Tip: The soy sauce adds depth without making it taste Asian. It's the secret ingredient in many Swedish meatball recipes.
Return meatballs to the gravy. Simmer covered for 10 minutes until cooked through. Cook egg noodles according to package directions. Serve meatballs and gravy over noodles with a dollop of lingonberry jam.
