Prep

Step 1. Mix Breadcrumbs and Milk in a large bowl and let stand until softened, about 5 minutes. Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil.
Step 2. Mix Onion, Eggs, Allspice, Black Pepper and one-third of the Salt into the crumbs. Gently mix in Ground Beef and Ground Pork, then shape into 20 meatballs.

Cook

Step 3. Heat Vegetable Oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, turning, until browned on several sides, about 6 minutes per batch; transfer to a plate. They will finish cooking in the gravy.
Step 4. Melt Butter in the skillet over medium heat. Stir in All-Purpose Flour and cook, stirring, until lightly golden, about 1 minute.
Step 5. Whisk in Beef Stock and Heavy Cream, scraping the skillet. Return the meatballs and any juices; simmer over medium-low heat until the gravy thickens and the meatballs are cooked through with no pink inside, about 8 minutes.
Step 6. Meanwhile, add the rest of the Salt and Egg Noodles to the boiling water. Cook until tender, about 7 minutes or according to the package, then drain.

Finish & serve

Step 7. Spoon the meatballs and gravy over the noodles. Serve with Lingonberry Jam on the side.
