Method

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix well.
Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 1/2 inches in diameter).
In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.
In the same skillet, add flour and stir to create a roux. Gradually whisk in heavy cream.
Cook until the sauce thickens, then season with salt and pepper.
Serve the meatballs in the sauce with mashed potatoes on the side.
Check that the ground meat reaches 71°C (160°F) throughout before serving.
