Categories     Meat

Time 1h20m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 lb ground round
1 lb ground pork
3 eggs, lightly beaten
4 ounces French bread, with crust removed
1 1/2 cups milk
1 yellow onion, diced (I use a small onion)
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tablespoon italian seasoning
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 tablespoons butter
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
breadcrumbs, for coating
olive oil (for frying, enough to come to the half-point of the meatball)
2 tablespoons cornstarch

Steps:

  • Cube french bread and soak in milk about 10 minutes or until soft.
  • Crumble meat in large bowl and add eggs, onion, garlic Italian seasoning, salt and pepper.
  • Squeeze milk out of bread and crumble bread into meat mixture.
  • Mix well.
  • Shape into balls and roll in bread crumbs.
  • In dutch oven, heat olive oil.
  • Brown meatballs in batches, turning to brown all sides.
  • After browning, drain off all but about 1 tbsp oil and add butter and beef broth to pot.
  • Add meatballs back in.
  • Cover and bake in a 350 oven for 45 minutes-1 hour.
  • When meatballs are done-- remove to platter and keep warm.
  • Add cornstarch to the beef broth (I pour about 1/2 cup of broth into measuring cup and add the cornstarch, then pour back into pot).
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat and cook, stirring until thickened for gravy.
  • Serve over meatballs.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and ground pork to create a moist and flavorful meatball.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatballs generously with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  • Brown the meatballs in a large skillet before adding them to the gravy. This will help to seal in the flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
  • Use a good quality beef broth for the gravy. This will make all the difference in the flavor of the dish.
  • Simmer the meatballs in the gravy for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become tender.

Conclusion:

Meatballs in beef gravy is a classic comfort food dish that is easy to make and always a hit with the family. With a few simple tips, you can make sure that your meatballs are moist, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try.
