Meatballs in Onion Gravy

Difficulty: Medium • Serves 4 • Prep: 15 minutes • Cook: 30 minutes

Ingredients

• 1 pound ground beef
• 1 egg
• ¼ cup plain breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Zeoma Organic Minced Onion, divided
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ¼ teaspoon black pepper
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1½ cups low-sodium beef broth
• Prepared mashed potatoes, for serving

Directions

1. Gently mix beef, egg, breadcrumbs, 1 tablespoon minced onion, salt, and pepper. Shape into 16 meatballs.
2. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on several sides, then transfer to a plate.
3. Leave about 1 tablespoon of fat in the skillet. Add sliced onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, until softened. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
4. Gradually stir in broth, then add the remaining minced onion. Return meatballs and their juices to the skillet.
5. Cover and gently simmer for 12–15 minutes, until the meatballs reach 160°F in the center. If needed, uncover and simmer briefly to thicken the gravy. Serve over mashed potatoes.
