In a large bowl, add the beaten eggs, unsweetened almond milk, mashed potato flakes, allspice, nutmeg, ground black pepper, kosher salt, and chopped green onions. Stir until combined.
Next, add the beef and the pork to the large bowl. Mix with your hands or a large spoon.
Form the meatballs. Use either an ice cream scoop or a large cookie scoop. This will help make sure the meatballs are all the same size. This is important so they will cook evenly.
Transfer the formed meatballs on a baking sheet, covered with either wax paper or parchment paper. If meatballs are not holding together well, chill for thirty minutes.
Add avocado oil to a large skillet. Heat the pan to medium-low heat. Using tongs, place each meatball in the hot oil. Do this in batches so the meatballs do not overcrowd the pan.
Once the meatballs start to brown, turn the meatball over. This step will not completely cook the meatball. It will sear in the juices and add flavor and color.
Place the browned meatballs in a 9x13-inch pan or large skillet in a single layer.
Dairy Free Gravy Instructions:
In the large skillet used to fry the meatballs, melt the dairy free butter. Sprinkle the gluten free flour over the melted butter. With a whisk, stir the butter and flour together.
Add one cup of the beef broth to the melted butter and flour mixture. Keep whisking, and add another cup of beef broth. The butter-flour paste will thin out and create a lump-free gravy.
Next, add the canned coconut cream, worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, black pepper, and salt. Keep whisking and turn the heat to low. Taste and adjust the seasonings.
Pour the gravy over the meatballs and cook in a preheating 350 degree F oven for 30-40 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F.
Sprinkle chopped fresh parsley over the cooked meatballs for a touch of fresh flavor, optional.
