Ingredients
1 pound ground beef
1 egg
1/3 cup breadcrumbs
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 medium yellow onion sliced
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
2. Roll the mixture into evenly sized meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.
3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown them on all sides. Remove and set aside.
4. In the same pan, add sliced onions and cook until soft and golden, about 6–8 minutes.
5. Pour in beef broth and scrape up any browned bits from the pan.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together cornstarch and water. Add the slurry to the pan and stir until the gravy thickens.
7. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer in the gravy for 15 minutes, until fully cooked.
8. Serve hot over mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Notes
Use 80/20 beef for juicier meatballs.
Don’t overmix the meat or it may turn dense.
Make ahead and freeze both meatballs and gravy for a quick weeknight meal.
