Number Of Ingredients 18

Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef
½ cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
½ cup very finely diced onion
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon seasoning salt
1 teaspoon dried parsley
½ teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Black pepper
oil ( for pan frying)
2 tablespoons butter
1 onion (halved and sliced)
2 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups beef broth (or more as needed; I usually do 2 cups but we do prefer a thin gravy)
salt, pepper and Worcestershire sauce (to taste)

Steps:

Shape meatballs: Add all ingredients for the meatballs (EXCEPT for the oil) to a large bowl. Mix well, then shape into firm meatballs (I use about 2 teaspoons of mixture per meatball).
Brown meatballs: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then brown the meatballs in batches on all sides. Be very careful when flipping them - slide a spatula underneath to keep them from breaking up. Set browned meatballs aside on a plate.
Make the gravy: Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and melt, then add sliced onion and cook for 5-10 minutes, until very softened and golden brown. Stir in the flour, then stir in the beef broth until smooth.
Simmer gravy: Simmer gravy until thickened, then carefully add the meatballs and finish simmering until meatballs are done in the middle. Serve over mashed potatoes.

STARR'S SAVORY MEATBALLS

Starr's Savory Meatballs image

This is my version of meatballs based on experimentation from several different recipes, including my mother's. I like to use these in spaghetti sauce, of course, but they're also delicious in my meatball subs. You can double or triple the recipe - sky's the limit! - and freeze.
