Ingredients
For the meatballs
- 1 lb lean ground beef
- 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 1/4 cup dijon mustard
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil for frying
For the gravy
- 3 tbsp butter
- 3 tbsp flour
- 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 onion (diced)
- 1 tsp seasoned salt
- 1 cup low sodium chicken stock
Instructions
Preparation
- In a large bowl, add all the meatball ingredients. Mix together with your hand until all ingredients are incorporated.
- Form 1-inch balls and roll them into round shapes.
Cooking
- Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high heat and add the olive oil.
- Once hot, add the meatballs and cook on each side until all sides are browned, about 8 minutes total.
- Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
- Lower the heat to medium and add the butter to the pan.
- Once melted, add the flour and whisk immediately to form a roux.
- Add the diced onions and cook for 3 minutes or until slightly tender.
- Add the chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, and seasoned salt to the mixture.
- Cook the mixture over medium heat until it begins to thicken and resemble gravy.
- Add the meatballs back into the pan and lower the heat to low. Cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
- Check the gravy for seasoning and add more salt or pepper if necessary.
- Serve over mashed potatoes and enjoy!
Notes
Do not overmix the meat mixture to prevent tough meatballs. Browning is crucial for flavor. Adjust gravy thickness as needed.
