Directions
Cook the onion in 1 T. of the butter until tender. In a mixing bowl, combine egg and cream; stir in the cooked onion, bread crumbs, parsley, salt, spices and pepper. Add the ground meat and mix well. Chill mixture. Shape meatballs into 3/4-1 inch balls.
Brown the meatballs, half at a time in the remaining 2 T. butter (I often add additional canola oil). Remove meatballs from the skillet. Stir in the flour, bouillon and coffee crystals into the pan drippings and add about 1 1/2 cups water. (If you are cooking mashed potatoes, use the potato water.) Cook and stir until thickened and bubbly. Add the meatballs and cover, simmer for about 20 minutes or until the meatballs are hot, stirring occasionally.
