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
- 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, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Form the meatballs: Roll the mixture into meatballs about 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, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. This step seals in the juices and adds flavor.
- Remove meatballs: Take the browned meatballs out of the skillet and set them aside on a plate.
- Make the gravy: In the same skillet, add the brown gravy mix and beef broth. Stir well, scraping the browned bits off the bottom of the pan to incorporate the rich flavors into the gravy.
- Simmer the meatballs: Return the meatballs to the skillet with the gravy. Cover and let them simmer gently for 20-25 minutes until the meatballs are fully cooked and the gravy has thickened to a luscious consistency.
- Serve: Spoon the rich brown gravy over the meatballs and serve hot for a comforting meal.
