Instructions
- 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and milk and let stand for 2 minutes until the breadcrumbs absorb the milk. Add the egg, grated onion, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper and mix until combined. Add the ground beef and ground pork and mix with your hands just until the mixture is uniform — do not overwork.

Roll the meat mixture into balls about 1 1/4 inches in diameter (roughly 1 heaping tablespoon each), placing them on a rimmed baking sheet as you go. You should have about 22–24 meatballs.
