  • Total Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef (or ground turkey)
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (or 1 tablespoon dried parsley)
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
– 1 cup beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream (or sour cream)
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)


Instructions

Creating your scrumptious meatballs and gravy is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare the Meatballs: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic, egg, parsley, salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Mix until well combined.
2. Form the Meatballs: Shape the mixture into small balls, approximately 1 inch in diameter. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
3. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
4. Brown the Meatballs: Carefully place the meatballs in the hot skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides.
5. Remove the Meatballs: Using a slotted spoon, transfer browned meatballs to a plate and set aside.
6. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add flour and stir for about a minute to remove the raw taste.
7. Add Broth and Cream: Gradually whisk in the beef broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir continuously until the gravy thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
8. Combine: Add the cooked meatballs back into the skillet. Let them simmer in the gravy for 10 minutes to soak up the flavors.
9. Taste and Adjust: Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning as needed, adding more salt, pepper, or herbs to your liking.
10. Serve Warm: Once the meatballs are cooked through and flavors melded, your dish is ready to enjoy!

These straightforward steps will lead you to a beautiful meatballs and gravy creation that will surely impress.
