What's a party without the Swedish meatballs? These mini bites are subtly spiced with nutmeg and allspice to add a little intrigue to their flavor palate. The meatballs are ready to party, are you?

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground lean pork
1 pound ground veal
4 slices bread
3/4 cup milk
1 onion, finely chopped
2 teaspoons salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 clove garlic, mashed
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 eggs, lightly beaten
oil or shortening for frying
2 cups beef bouillon, heated
Combine the ground beef, pork, and veal in a bowl and mix until combined.
Tear the bread into small pieces and combine with the milk in another bowl. Let stand until the bread absorbs the milk.
Add the bread mixture to the meat along with the onion, salt, nutmeg, allspice, garlic, black pepper, and eggs. Mix with a wooden spoon until combined.
Form the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on a sheet of waxed paper for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat enough oil or shortening in a deep skillet over medium-high heat to yield 1/2-inches of fat. Add the meatballs, in batches, and cook until browned, turning as needed. Remove the meatballs from the skillet with a slotted spoon and place in a single layer in a shallow baking dish. Add the beef broth to the dish.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake, uncovered, for 30 minutes at 350 degrees F or until the meatballs are cooked through and the liquid has cooked off.
Serve the Swedish meatballs plain or with a sauce, as desired.
