1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cube beef bullion

Return skillet to medium heat and bring flour mixture to a boil, stirring until boullion cube disolves and mixture is smooth. Add half and half and 1/2 cup milk; bring to a simmer stirring constantly, and cook 3 minutes longer or until sauce is thick and smooth.

Add meatballs to sauce in skillet; toss gently to coat well. Remove from heat. If desired, recipe can be made up to this point and refrigerated overnight. To serve, reheat over medium heat. Transfer meatballs to serving dish; top with sauce and garnish with dill.
