Steps:

• Mix beef, pork, and veal together in a bowl with the onions, egg, white bread broken up into small pieces, and sprinkling of salt and pepper.
• Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball or a little smaller.
• Saute meatballs in melted margarine and the oil until browned.
• Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
• Add flour to the grease in the pan(to make a roux) and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds.
• Add 1/2 of the carton of half and half, the gravy master, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Stir until it starts to thicken, and then add meatballs back to the pan.
• Simmer on low for 40 minutes.
• As it thickens more, you can add the rest of the half and half as needed. (I usually end up adding the rest little by little because I like it saucey and because some of the sauce cooks away while simmering.).
• Re-season with salt and pepper to your taste, before serving on top of cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
