¼ lb ground pork
1½ cups bread crumbs
¼ cup milk
½ cup chopped onion
2 tbsp butter
1 cup half-and-half
¼ cup parsley
1 tsp salt

1 tbsp flour
¾ cup half-and-half

Method

Combine the ground beef, veal, and pork.
Soak breadcrumbs in milk.
Cook onion in butter until tender.
Combine meat, soaked bread crumbs, cooked onion, half-and-half, parsley, salt, ginger, and pepper.
Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
Very lightly brown the meatballs in a pan over medium heat. Remove meatballs from the pan, and reserve.
After lightly browning meatballs, stir the flour into the meatball drippings in the pan, then add the half-and-half, butter, and coffee. Heat and stir until thickened.
Either add meatballs and gravy to a slow cooker and simmer until ready to eat, or add meatballs to sauce in pan and simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve hot.
