Step-by-Step Instructions
1
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, allspice, salt, and black pepper. Mix the ingredients together with your hands or a wooden spoon until just combined. Be careful not to overmix the mixture.
2
Use your hands to shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 1/2 inches (3.8 cm) in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, leaving a little space between each meatball to allow for even cooking.
3
Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until cooked through. While the meatballs are baking, melt the butter in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the flour and whisk together to make a roux, cooking for 1-2 minutes.
4
Slowly pour in the milk, whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
5
Once the meatballs are done, remove them from the oven and carefully place them in the bechamel sauce. Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for a few minutes to coat them evenly.
