Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix until just combined.
  2. Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place them on a plate.
  3. Carefully place the meatballs in the slow cooker, evenly spaced for maximum flavor infusion.
  4. In a separate bowl, whisk together the cream of mushroom soup and beef broth until smooth. Pour over the meatballs.
  5. Cover the slow cooker and set to cook on low for 6 to 8 hours. Check for doneness at 6 hours.
  6. About 20 minutes before serving, stir in the sour cream to enrich the sauce.
