Instructions

Prepare the Onions:

Finely dice the onion.

Sauté in a small pan or the Instant Dutch Oven with the olive oil until softened and translucent.

Soak the Bread:

Soak the slice of bread in the milk until fully absorbed.

Mix Meatball Ingredients:

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, eggs, milk-soaked bread, onions, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves.

Mix until well combined.

Form Meatballs:

Form into 1 ½- to 2-inch meatballs. This recipe makes about 24 meatballs of this size. For smaller meatballs, make them 1-inch.

Brown the Meatballs:

Brown the meatballs in the oven on broil for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, sauté them in the Instant Dutch Oven in batches until all are browned.

Prepare the Gravy:

Preheat the Instant Dutch Oven to sauté.

Melt the butter.

Add the flour and whisk to combine, forming a roux. Cook for a couple of minutes to eliminate any “doughy” taste.

Add the sour cream and whisk quickly to combine.

Add the beef broth, one cup at a time, whisking to combine with the flour-sour cream mixture.

Combine and Cook:

Add the remaining salt, pepper, and parsley to the liquid.

Return the meatballs to the Instant Precision Dutch Oven.

Add the uncooked egg noodles.

Cook the Dish:

Cover and cook according to the Instant Dutch Oven’s instructions until the meatballs are cooked through and the noodles are tender.
