I absolutely love when I make a meal and THINK my husband is going to hate it, BUT when we try it, he loves it! YES!! Granted he did not eat this with the gravy--he so doesn't realize what he's missing! This was extremely easy to make. I made the meatballs ahead of time and froze them. I just had to thaw and reheat the day I served it. Sorry to disappoint, but these were instant mashed potatoes (did not have time to make real ones), but the gravy was delicious!
Meatballs:
1 pounds ground beef
1 1/3 cups bread crumbs (I used ground oatmeal...shhh, don't tell Brian)
2 eggs, beaten
1/4 c onion, chopped
1 cloves garlic
1/2 Tablespoons dried parsley
1/4 Tablespoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Don’t mix too much, just enough to distribute ingredients throughout mixture. Form into meatballs or divide into four parts and form four meatloaves. These are not very salty meatballs, since you will serve them with sauce or gravy.
Bake in 350° oven for 15 minutes or until cooked through for meatballs. Cool, label, and freeze.
Gravy:
1/8 cup butter or margarine
1/8 cup chopped onion
1/8 cup flour
1 cups beef or chicken broth
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
In medium saucepan, melt butter. Saute onion until clear. Whisk in flour and cook until bubbly. Whisk in broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until thickened. Stir in seasonings. Serve immediately or cool, package in plastic container with a lid, label, and freeze. Warm on the stove top and whisk to blend.
