Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef (lean recommended)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (use gluten-free if desired)
  • 1 large egg (or flax egg for vegan option)
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • salt, to taste
  • black pepper, to taste
  • 2 cups beef broth (low-sodium recommended)
  • 1 cup cream (or milk for lighter version)
  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • butter, for mashing potatoes
  • milk, for mashing potatoes

Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl
  • skillet
  • Baking Sheet
  • pot
  • Whisk

Method
 

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until well incorporated and let rest for 5 minutes.
  2. Form mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  3. Heat a skillet over medium heat with oil. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 8-10 minutes total. Remove from skillet.
  4. Add beef broth to the skillet and whisk up brown bits. Stir in cream and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
  5. Boil potatoes in salted water 15-20 minutes until fork tender. Drain and mash with butter and milk until creamy.
  6. Serve meatballs over mashed potatoes with gravy drizzled on top.

Notes

Choose lean beef to avoid excess greasiness. Let the meatball mixture rest for enhanced flavor. Adjust the thickness of the gravy to taste, and prepare the mashed potatoes while the meatballs simmer for efficiency.
