MEATBALLS IN BEEF GRAVY

Meatballs in Beef Gravy image

For the best flavor I recommended to brown the meatballs in the skillet, the browned bits in the skillet will add flavor to the gravy, I have listed the yield for 4 please be aware that it is for four smaller size portions if you like lots of gravy then you may want to double the recipe ---prep time does not include preparing the meatballs --- serve with mashed potatoes
