Saucy Meatballs

For a shortcut, try using frozen meatballs instead of making your own meatballs from scratch, but the homemmade meatballs are soooo good, and actually quite easy!

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup soft breadcrumbs (I just use dry breadcrumbs from a can. We usually have italian seasoned bread crumbs on hand. They work great!)
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
1/4 tsp. ground allspice
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
2 Tbsp. vegetable oil, plus a little leftover bacon grease (doesn't everyone save theirs? :-) )
3 Tbsp. flour
1/4 tsp. pepper
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 8 oz. carton sour cream (1 cup)
Hot cooked rice or noodles

Combine first 8 ingredients, mixing well; shape into 1 1/2 inch meatballs. Brown in the 2 tbsp. hot oil in a large skillet. Once cooked, remove meatballs and keep warm, reserving drippings in pan. Add flour and 1/2 tsp pepper to drippings in pan. Mix well. Gradually add broth, stirring until smooth. Cook over medium heat 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and cool slightly. Stir in sour cream and add meatballs back to skillet. cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until heated through. Serve over the hot rice or noodles.

4 servings.
