For the Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground beef (80/20 recommended)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (or panko)
- 1 egg
- 1/2 cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste

-
For the Gravy:
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp flour
- 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions
- Make the Meatballs
- In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, chopped onion, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Shape into meatballs (about 1 ½ inches in diameter).
- 2. Brown the Meatballs
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides (about 5-7 minutes). Remove and set aside.
- 3. Make the Gravy
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes. Slowly whisk in beef broth to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
- 4. Simmer the Meatballs
- Return meatballs to the skillet and gently coat with gravy. Cover and simmer for 20-25 minutes, until fully cooked. Add extra broth if gravy becomes too thick.
- 5. Serve
- Serve over mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles for a comforting meal.
Notes
- Substitute ground beef with turkey or chicken for a lighter version.
- For gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch instead of flour.
- Simmering the meatballs slowly enhances their tenderness and flavor.
