Meatballs and Gravy

Ingredients
To make the meatballs, you will need
1 pound Ground Beef
1 tsp Salt
1/2 tsp Garlic Powder
1/2 tsp Onion Powder
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
1 Egg, slightly beaten
1/4 cup Plain Bread Crumbs
Oil for frying

To make the gravy, you will need
3 TBSP Butter
3 TBSP Flour
2 cups Beef Broth
1/2 cup Half & Half

Instructions

Make the meatballs
1. Place the ground beef in a large bowl. Add the salt, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, egg, and bread crumbs. Mix the ground beef with your hands until all the ingredients are incorporated.

2. Form the ground beef into rounds, just a little smaller than a golf ball. Makes approximately 20 meatballs

Brown the meatballs
1. Add enough oil to a large, deep skillet to cover the bottom (about 1 1/2 TBSP).

2. Heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil is hot, carefully place the meatballs in the oil. Fry them, turning a couple of times to brown on all sides, for about 5-6 minutes.

3. Remove the meatballs to a plate or bowl, set aside for now.

Make the gravy
1. Drain most the oil from the skillet, but do not wash or wipe. If there are bits on the bottom of the pan, leave them in there. They will flavor the gravy.

2. Place the skillet over medium heat and add the butter. When the butter is melted and foamy, add the flour. Cook the flour, stirring frequently, for 2 or 3 minutes.

3. Slowly add the beef broth and stir until combined, and bring the sauce to a simmer.

4. Add the meatballs to the gravy and lower the heat to medium-low.

5. Cover the skillet and cook the meatballs for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

6. Add the Half and Half and stir well.

7. Lower the heat to low, cover, and continue to cook for 3-5minutes to let the flavors combine and heat through.

8. Taste the gravy and add a little salt if needed.

9. Serve with the meatballs and gravy over pasta, mashed potatoes, or on their own.
