Ingredients
Scale
Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Gravy and Cooking
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 packet brown gravy mix
- 2 cups beef broth
Instructions
- Prepare the meatball mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form meatballs: Roll the mixture into meatballs approximately 1.5 inches in diameter, ensuring they are uniform in size for even cooking.
- Brown the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook them on all sides until browned, about 5-7 minutes, which helps develop flavor and texture.
- Set meatballs aside: Remove the browned meatballs from the skillet and place them on a plate to prepare for the gravy.
- Prepare the gravy: In the same skillet, add the packet of brown gravy mix and 2 cups of beef broth. Stir well, scraping the bottom of the pan to loosen any browned bits for added flavor.
- Simmer meatballs in gravy: Return the meatballs to the skillet with the gravy. Cover and let them simmer on low heat for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked and the gravy thickens to a rich consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the meatballs and thickened gravy onto plates and serve hot for a comforting meal.
