1 tsp olive oil 
1 small onion, minced 
1 clove garlic, minced  
1 celery stalk, minced 
1/4 cup minced parsley 
1 lb 93% lean beef 
1 egg 
1/4 cup breadcrumbs  
salt and pepper to taste 
1/2 tsp allspice 
2 cups reduced sodium beef stock  
2 oz light cream cheese

In a large deep saute pan, heat oil on medium heat, add onions and garlic; sauté until onions are translucent, about 4-5 minutes. Add celery and parsley and cook until soft, about 3-4 more minutes. Let cool a few minutes.
  
In a large bowl combine beef, egg, onion mixture, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper and allspice. Mix well and form meatballs with your hands 1/8 cup each (fill 1/4 cup then divide the meat in half).
  
Add beef stock to the pan and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium-low and slowly drop meatballs into the broth. Cover and cook about 20 minutes. Remove the meatballs with a slotted spoon and set aside in a serving dish. Strain the stock, add to blender with cream cheese and pulse until smooth. Return to pan and simmer a few minutes to thicken, then pour over meatballs.
To Freeze: Freeze in freezer safe container.
 
To Reheat:  Reheat in crock pot or pot on stovetop.
