In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, eggs, milk-soaked bread, onions, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves.

Form Meatballs:
Form into 1 ½- to 2-inch meatballs. This recipe makes about 24 meatballs of this size. For smaller meatballs, make them 1-inch.

Melt the butter.
Add the flour and whisk to combine, forming a roux. Cook for a couple of minutes to eliminate any “doughy” taste.
