Ingredients
Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
½ small onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 egg
Salt & pepper to taste
½ cup breadcrumbs
¼ cup grated parmesan (optional)
Gravy:
2 tbsp butter
1 ½ cups sliced mushrooms
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp flour
1 ½ cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
-
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, and parmesan (if using). Mix gently until just combined.
-
Shape the mixture into meatballs about 1 to 1½ inches in diameter.
-
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and brown the meatballs on all sides until cooked through (about 8-10 minutes). Remove meatballs and set aside.
-
In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and cook until browned and softened, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 1 minute more.
-
Sprinkle flour over mushrooms, stirring to coat. Cook 1-2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
-
Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Cook until gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
-
Return meatballs to skillet, spoon gravy over them, and simmer together for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
-
Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.
Notes
Parmesan cheese is optional but adds a rich depth to meatballs.
For gluten-free, substitute breadcrumbs and flour with gluten-free versions.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to 3 days in the fridge or frozen for longer.
Reheat gently to keep meatballs tender.
