Ingredients
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg
- 1 ½ teaspoons salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- ¾ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon parsley fresh or dried
- ½ teaspoon ground mustard
- 3 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup onion thinly sliced
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 5 tablespoons flour
- 3 cups beef stock
Instructions
- In a large bowl combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 2 teaspoons of Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, onion powder, parsley,1 teaspoon of garlic powder, paprika and the ground mustard. Mix until fully combined.
- Portion the meat into 1 ½" portions and roll into meatballs. Approximately 25 meatballs.
- In a large skillet over medium heat begin browning the meatballs on all sides. Remove from the pan. Discard all but approximately 2 tablespoons of the grease from the pan.
- Now add in the butter and onions. Sauté until lightly browned and tender. Add the garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds.
- Add the flour to the pan, whisking to make the roux. Be sure to scrape the bottom of the pan to remove the brown bits. Cook for 1 minute, whisking regularly.
- Pour in the beef stock, whisking to prevent clumping. Turn the heat to low and maintain a simmer. Place the meatballs back in the pan. Season with the remaining garlic powder, and 1 teaspoon of Worcestershire sauce. Continue cooking for 8-10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through and the gravy has thickened. Stir occasionally to prevent burning. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
