Ingredients
- 1½ pound ground beef
lean
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
I used Panko
- 1 egg
- ¼ cup ketchup
- ¼ cup mustard
coarse grain
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper

- 2 tablespoons olive oil
for frying

- 1 large onion
chopped
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
or cornstarch
- 1 cup beef broth
or chicken broth, low sodium or no sodium added
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- ½ teaspoon seasoning salt
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
chopped, for garnish
Directions
- 1
Add all the meatball ingredients (excluding the olive oil) to a large bowl and mix well, use your hands. Shape into 1 inch meatballs. You should get about 30 meatballs.
- 2
Add the olive oil to a large skillet and heat over medium to high heat. Add meatballs and cook. If you're using a large skillet all meatballs should fit in one batch otherwise, you might have to fry them in a couple batches. Cook the meatballs on all sides, add more oil if needed. Remove meatballs from skillet and set aside.

To the same skillet add butter and melt. Add onion and cook until onion is soft and translucent.
- 4
Sprinkle the flour over the onion and stir. Cook for about 1 minute to remove the raw flour taste. (If using cornstarch make a slurry with equal amounts water and cornstarch) Add broth and remaining gravy ingredients to skillet, and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes, sauce should thicken. If the sauce is too thick add a bit more beef broth. Taste for seasoning and adjust as necessary.

When the gravy is done add the meatballs back to the skillet and toss them around so they're covered in the gravy. Garnish with parsley.
