Method
 

Instructions
  1. In a large bowl, gently combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until just combined; do not overmix.
  2. Roll the meat mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. In the slow cooker, combine chopped onion and minced garlic. Cook on low for 30 minutes, or until softened.
  4. Add the meatballs to the slow cooker on top of the onions and garlic.
  5. In a medium bowl, whisk together cream of mushroom soup, beef broth, sour cream, and Dijon mustard. Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
  6. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or on high for 3-4 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
  7. Stir in chopped fresh parsley (if using) during the last 15 minutes of cooking.
  8. Serve the meatballs over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

Notes

For richer flavor, brown the meatballs lightly in a skillet before adding them to the slow cooker. You can also add other vegetables like carrots or celery to the slow cooker with the onions and garlic.
