Time 1h

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.
