Serves 4 ( 6 each )
Ingredients
-
2 lbs ground meatloaf blend
-
1 cup shredded mild cheddar cheese
-
1 large egg
-
1 tbsp water
-
1/4 cup diced onions
-
1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
-
1/4 tsp allspice
-
4 tbsp salted butter
-
1.5 cups chicken broth
-
1.5 cups heavy (whipping) cream
-
1 tbsp dijon mustard
-
1 tbsp worcestershire sauce
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and preheat a slow cooker to low.
-
Line a large baking pan with parchment paper.
-
In a large bowl, combine ground meat, cheddar cheese, egg, onion, water, nutmeg and allspice.
-
Roll the mixture into 1.5 inch meatballs and arrange them on the lined baking pan (may require two depending on how large your pan is — makes about 24 meatballs)
-
Bake for about 20 minutes or until a thermometer reads 140 degrees F.
-
Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat the butter, chicken broth, and heavy cream over medium heat.
-
Once it begins to simmer, reduce the heat to low and let continue simmering for about 20 minutes until it reduces in half (stir frequently, especially toward the end).
-
Stir in the mustard and Worcestershire sauce.
-
Pour the sauce into a slow cooker and add the meatballs when they’re ready.
-
Cook on low for about 2 hours so the meatballs can marinate.
-
Stir every half hour or so, covering all the meatballs, and don’t cook in the slow cooker longer than two hours, or the sauce may start to separate.
