  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease a jelly roll pan.
  2. 2 Combine bread crumbs, milk, eggs, onion, ginger, salt, nutmeg, garlic, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Let stand until bread crumbs absorb milk, about 5 minutes.

  3. 3 Bake in the preheated oven until browned, about 18 minutes. Set meatballs aside.
  4. 4 Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté onion until tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in flour and cook until lightly browned, about 2 minutes. Slowly add broth; cook and stir gravy until smooth and thickened, 5 to 10 minutes. Blend in cream, cayenne pepper, and black pepper.
  5. 5 Gently stir cooked meatballs into gravy and heat through, but do not boil, about 5 minutes more.

  1. 1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  2. 2 Place bread crumbs into a small bowl; mix in cream. Allow to stand until crumbs absorb cream, about 10 minutes.
  3. 3 Meanwhile, melt 1 teaspoon butter in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion until light brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer onion to a mixing bowl.
  4. 4 Mix ground beef, ground pork, egg, brown sugar, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, allspice, and ginger with onion in the mixing bowl. Lightly mix in bread crumbs and cream.
  5. 5 Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Pinch off about 1 ½ tablespoons meat mixture per meatball; form into balls. Place meatballs into the skillet and cook, turning often, until browned, about 5 minutes. Insides of meatballs will still be pink.
  6. 6 Place browned meatballs into a baking dish, pour in chicken broth, and cover with foil.
  7. 7 Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are tender, about 40 minutes. Remove meatballs to a serving dish.
  8. 8 Pour pan drippings into a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk flour into drippings until smooth.
  9. 9 Gradually whisk in enough beef broth to total about 2 ½ cups liquid.
  10. 10 Bring gravy to a simmer, whisking constantly, until thickened, about 5 minutes.
  11. 11 Just before serving, whisk in sour cream. Season with salt and black pepper. Serve gravy with meatballs.
