MEATBALLS AND GRAVY

Steps:

• Shape meatballs: Add all ingredients for the meatballs (EXCEPT for the oil) to a large bowl. Mix well, then shape into firm meatballs (I use about 2 teaspoons of mixture per meatball).
• Brown meatballs: Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then brown the meatballs in batches on all sides. Be very careful when flipping them - slide a spatula underneath to keep them from breaking up. Set browned meatballs aside on a plate.
• Make the gravy: Lower heat to medium. Add butter to the skillet and melt, then add sliced onion and cook for 5-10 minutes, until very softened and golden brown. Stir in the flour, then stir in the beef broth until smooth.
• Simmer gravy: Simmer gravy until thickened, then carefully add the meatballs and finish simmering until meatballs are done in the middle. Serve over mashed potatoes.
