CREAM GRAVY

Combine beef and pork in large bowl. Soak crumbs with milk in separate bowl. Set aside.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in skillet and add onion. Saute until onion is tender, but not browned. Add onion to meat along with eggs, salt, pepper, allspice, sugar and soaked crumbs. Mix thoroughly but lightly. Shape into small or medium sized balls.

Heat 2 tablespoons butter in skillet. Add meatballs and brown on all sides, shaking pan occasionally. Add meatballs to Cream Gravy and simmer over low heat 30 minutes. Makes 6 entree or 12 appetizer servings.

CREAM GRAVY: Melt butter in saucepan, then stir in flour until smooth. Gradually stir in milk, half and half, salt, pepper and sugar. Bring to boil, stirring, until sauce is shiny. Stir in enough brown cooking sauce to make gravy light-brown in color, about 2 teaspoons to 1 tablespoon.
