1.5 pounds Lean Ground Beef
1 pound Ground Veal
0.5 pounds Ground Pork
2 Large Onions
1 cup Bread Crumbs
2 Eggs
0.5 cups Chopped Parsley
0.5 cups Chopped Basil
1 tablespoon Salt
1 teaspoon Pepper
0.5 teaspoons Ground Nutmeg
12 Whole Allspice
0.5 cups Milk
6 tablespoons Butter
6 cups Beef Broth
2 tablespoons Flour
0.5 cups Water

1
Mix together the ground meat, onions (pulverized), eggs, milk, bread crumbs and all of the spices except the whole allspice.
2
Roll the meat mixture into half inch round balls - should be enough to cover about 3 baking sheets (sheets used solely to hold the rolled meatballs while they're waiting to be browned).
3
Brown the meatballs in butter: place a large pan over medium to high heat and combine 1 TBS of butter with a half a baking sheet worth of meatball at a time for a total of six batches. Place the browned meatballs into baking dishes - two large baking dishes should be sufficient.
4
Keep the heat on medium high and add the beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
5
Once the mixture has thickened to a gravy, add salt and pepper to taste, and then pour over the meatballs.
6
Sprinkle the whole allspice evenly among the meatballs.
7
Bake the meatballs for 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
