• Pre-heat oven to 325 degrees.
• Melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a sauté pan. Add onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until onions are soft. Add to a large bowl.
• Add bread crumbs to a medium sized bowl. Add milk, starting with 1/4 cup - just enough to wet all of the bread.
• Add meats to large bowl with onions and add the parsley, egg, salt, ginger, and nutmeg. Mix well and then add the milk soaked bread crumbs. If there is any extra milk in the bowl with the bread, do not add.
• Add meat mixture to fridge for at least 15 minutes, this will help with shaping the meatballs.
• Shape meat into 2 - 3ish inch meatballs and add to a rimmed baking sheet. Don't worry about crowding.
• Bake for 30 minutes.
• Once meatballs are done, remove meatballs with tongs and add to a plate or bowl. Then use a spatula to scrape all of the drippings from the pan into a large pot or dutch oven.
• Heat pot to medium and add 2 tablespoons of butter to the meatball drippings. Add flour and mix flour and butter to create a roux.
• Slowly add beef broth, mixing roux with it as it's added until all the broth is incorporated.

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!
