Servings: 22 Meatballs
Ingredients
Meatball Mixture
- 1 Pd Ground Beef
- ⅓ Cup Plain Breadcrumbs
- ½ Cup Onion Finely Chopped
- 1 Large Egg
- ½ Tsp Allspice
- ½ Tsp Nutmeg
- 1 Tsp Kosher Salt
Gravy
- 2 Tbsp Unsalted Butter
- 2 Tbsp Flour
- ½ Cup Milk
- 1 ½ Cups Beef Broth
Instructions
- Add the ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, allspice, nutmeg, and salt in a large bowl. Mix just until combined. Don’t overmix, or the meatballs will be tough.
- Spoon about 1 ½ tablespoons of the mixture or 1 ounce. Form it into a ball and place it on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- In a large pan, add olive oil over medium heat. Cook the meatballs for 2-3 minutes on each side. Remove them from the pan and set them aside.
- Melt the butter in the same pan over medium heat. Stir in the flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring continuously, until it browns.
- Slowly add the broth while stirring continuously. Then add the milk.
- Add the meatballs to the gravy and cook for 10 minutes or until their internal temperature reaches 160 degrees.
Notes
- Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
- Leftovers freeze pretty well. Let them thaw before reheating.
- When making the gravy, add a little broth while stirring. This will help give you a creamy, smooth sauce.
- You may have to cook the meatballs in patches depending on the size pan you use.
