Swedish Meatballs

I realized I posted a picture of our Swedish meatballs, but not the recipe! So here goes: this is adapted from a recipe my mom had in her recipe box from an old woman. We made a couple of minor tweaks and ended up with the following:

Swedish Meatballs
1.5 lbs ground beef
½ lb ground pork
2 eggs
3 pieces of bread, made into breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp ginger
½ tsp allspice
1 medium onion, finely diced
2 cups beef broth

Mix all ingredients except broth together and shape into meatballs.
Saute until brown on all sides, then add broth to nearly cover and simmer on the stovetop until cooked through, about 1 hour.
Thicken broth with flour to make gravy and serve.
