Meatballs:

1 lb. ground beef

1/2 lb. ground pork

1 1/2 cup soft bread crumbs

1 cup cream

Gravy:

2 tbsp flour

1 can condensed beef broth

1/4 cup cold water

1/2 tsp instant coffee

3/4 cup sour cream

 

Soak bread in cream for about 5 mins. Mix together meats, onion, crumb mixture, egg and seasonings. Form into balls. Brown in 2 tbsp butter in a baking skillet to keep balls round. Remove. Make gravy: Stir flour into drippings, add broth, water and coffee. Heat until thickened. Add sour cream and stir. Return meatballs to gravy. Cover. Cook slowly about 20 mins, basting occasionally.
