Directions:
Add 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet, cook the diced onions 3-5 minutes.
Combine the cooked onions, ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg yolks, allspice, nutmeg, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 24 golf ball sized meatballs.
In the same skillet you cooked the diced onions, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil, bring to medium-high heat and place the meatballs in the skillet, brown on all sides, 3-5 minutes.
Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place in a slow cooker.
Keep the skillet over medium-high heat.
Add flour to the skillet with the pan drippings from the meatballs.
Scrape up all of the meatball drippings and combine with the flour.
Stir in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
If you want to cook egg noodles in the sauce in the slow cooker, add them 30 minutes before serving the meatballs.
Move the meatballs to the side of the slow cooker to make sure the noodles get cooked in the sauce.
Before serving the meatballs, add the sour cream, lemon zest, parsley, and additional 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
Serve immediately or turn the slow cooker to warm to serve within the hour.
