Ingredients
Scale
For the Crust:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 2 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tsp thyme leaves
Instructions
1. Prepare the Crust:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, parsley, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix gently and form into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then remove from the skillet and set aside.
- Add the sliced onions to the same skillet. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened and golden brown. Sprinkle the flour over the onions and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Bring to a simmer.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet. Add the thyme. Cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes, until the gravy has thickened and the meatballs are cooked through. Season with additional salt and pepper if needed.
