Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground beef
- 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 0.25 cup Heavy cream (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly combined.
Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a plate or tray.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove the meatballs and set them aside.
In the same skillet, reduce the heat to medium-low and add the butter. Once melted, whisk in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is golden brown and bubbly.
Gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Add the Worcestershire sauce and continue stirring until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper to taste.
Return the meatballs to the skillet, ensuring they are evenly coated in the gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes to heat through and meld the flavors.
Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve warm over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
