Ingredients

• 1 pound ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 large egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, for garnish

How to Make Pork Meatballs in Creamy Sauce

1. In a large bowl, combine ground pork, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. In the same skillet, add heavy cream and Dijon mustard. Stir well to combine, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
5. Return the meatballs to the skillet, coating them in the creamy sauce. Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
6. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Tips for the Best Results

• Ensure the meatballs are uniform in size for even cooking.
• Do not overcrowd the skillet when browning; cook in batches if necessary.
• For a little kick, add red pepper flakes to the sauce.
• Allow the meatballs to simmer long enough for the flavors to meld but avoid overcooking them.

Easy Variations

• Substitute ground turkey or chicken for a lighter option.
• Add spinach or chopped kale to the meatball mixture for extra nutrition.
• Use coconut cream instead of heavy cream for a dairy-free version.
• Experiment with different herbs such as thyme or basil for varied flavors.

What to Serve With It

• Creamy mashed potatoes to soak up the sauce
• Steamed broccoli or green beans for a fresh crunch
• Crusty bread for dipping into the sauce
• A simple side salad for balance
