In a large bowl, combine the first four ingredients. Crumble venison over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Place in a greased 8-in. square baking dish. Combine the remaining ingredients; pour over meatballs., Bake, uncovered, at 375° for 35-45 minutes or until meat is no longer pink.

Preheat an oven to 400 degrees F. Prepare a baking sheet by greasing it with nonstick cooking spray or lining it with parchment paper or aluminum foil. In a large mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs and mix well to combine (note that the mixture will be rather wet at first as a result of all the eggs - just keep mixing it and it will come together). Using a large spoon or ice-cream scoop, portion the mixture into large meatballs (about 1/4 cup each) and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Bake the meatballs until golden brown and cooked through, 22 to 25 minutes. While the meatballs are baking, place a medium pot over medium heat with the butter. Add the caraway seeds to the melted butter and toast until aromatic, about 1 minute. Sprinkle the flour over the butter and cook, stirring well, to make a smooth paste, about 1 minute. Add the beef stock to the pot and bring the liquids up to a bubble, whisking frequently. Reduce the heat to medium-low and simmer the gravy, stirring occasionally, until thickened and aromatic, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Serve the meatballs topped with the gravy and a hearty dollop of lingonberry jam.
Time 2h30m Yield 2 dozen meatballs Number Of Ingredients 22 Steps:
mix in a very large bowl: sausage, meat eggs, onion, spices, 4 tbsp Worcestershire, butter, milk, bread crumbs & bread slices together (should be firm enough to form ball–add more bread crumbs or wet bread to help firm up). Scoop out 1/4 cup meat and make into a round thick patty like ball. You really don’t want it in a ball shape but more like a patty that is really thick. In a hot cast iron skillet on medium heat, place a little olive oil–enough to coat the bottom of the pan, don’t add more than a tablespoons. Fry each patty (about 5 or 6 at a time) in the pan until browned well on both sides. Remove to a large pot–no need to drain and don’t drain pan between each set of patties. Meanwhile remove stems from mushrooms and set aside. Slice the whole mushrooms and place in pot with meatballs. Mince the stems and also put in pot along with garlic cloves, kitchen bouquet, 2 tbsp Worcestershire, bay leaves and beef base. Once all meatballs are done and in the larger pot you should have around 3 tbsp of fat in the bottom of the fry pan. Add around 4 tbsp of flour (or enough to make a very wet paste when mixed with oil) you want to whisk it well and let get VERY brown add 2-3 cups of water to the roux and whisk to prevent lumps. Continue to add enough water so that it appears to be a thin gravy–try and get those brown bits from the bottom of the pan! This mixture should turn VERY Dark brown! Pour the roux/gravy mixture into the large pot with the meatballs add enough water (if necessary) to cover all meat balls. Put on medium heat until starts to boil and then turn down to a very low boil/simmer heat and cook for 1 1/2 hours, stirring occasionally very carefully not to break up the meat balls. Thicken gravy with cornstarch and water if desired. Serve over rice or potatoes. Because of the richness of the meat and the size of the balls you create, 1-2 meatballs per person is usually enough.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a cooling rack on top. Combine ground venison, Italian sausage, Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, egg, white wine, garlic, basil, and oregano in a large bowl; stir until well combined. Scoop meat mixture from the bowl and form into 2-inch balls. Place meatballs on top of the cooling rack. Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, about 25 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). As soon as meatballs go in the oven, begin the sauce: heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add mushrooms and thyme; cook until mushrooms are dark brown in color, about 10 minutes. Whisk together half-and-half, mustard, and cornstarch in a small bowl. Pour half-and-half mixture over mushrooms, reduce heat, simmer for 5 minutes, stirring continually. Turn heat off, season with salt and pepper, and let sit to thicken. Remove meatballs from the oven, transfer to a serving plate, and drizzle with mustard sauce.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs and milk. Add the bread crumbs, cheese, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper; mix thoroughly. Add the venison and knead with your hands until well blended. Form into golf ball-size meatballs. In a large skillet with a tight-fitting lid, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 8 minutes. Add 1/2 cup of the mustard sauce, reduce the heat to low, and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes. Serve the meatballs with the remaining mustard sauce on the side. In a small bowl, combine the mustard, condensed milk, vinegar, oil, and salt. Keep refrigerated for up to 1 month. This mustard sauce is very good on smoked meats and with summer sausage. If desired, keep half of the sauce as is and add 2 tablespoons prepared horseradish to the other half.

Mix milk, bread crumbs, 2 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon cream, egg, garlic, salt, black pepper, white pepper, and allspice together in a large bowl. Set aside to soak until bread crumbs have absorbed the milk, at least 10 minutes. Mix in beef, pork, onion, and parsley, using your hands to mix until well combined. Roll into about 24 small meatballs or 16 larger meatballs. Heat butter and oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Fry meatballs in small batches until cooked through and browned on all sides, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C). Transfer to a warm plate and cover with foil. Add butter for gravy sauce to the pan juices. Melt over medium heat. Whisk in flour. Cook and whisk until flour dissolves and turns brown, about 5 minutes. Pour in vegetable broth, beef broth, cream, soy sauce, and Dijon. Bring to a simmer. Season with salt and pepper and mix to combine all of the flavors together. Continue to simmer until thickened, 5 to 7 minutes. Add meatballs to the gravy. Toss gently to coat and serve.
