Meatballs and a delicious gravy over mashed potatoes, what’s not to like? This recipe will guide you to perfection! In just about an hour, dinner will be served. Enjoy!
Ingredients:
For The Meatballs:
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ c breadcrumbs (I used Panko)
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
½ onion, grated
500g ground beef
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon grounded black pepper
1 garlic, grated
For Gravy:
1 large onion, sliced
1 teaspoon smoked paprika
1 tablespoon BBQ sauce
1 tablespoon tomato ketchup
2 c beef stock
½ teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
1 garlic, grated
2 tablespoons plain flour
Salt to taste
2 tablespoons butter
For Mashed Potatoes:
½ c milk (I used low-fat milk)
Salt and black pepper to taste
4 tablespoons salted butter
5 large potatoes, peeled and boiled till tender
Directions:
In a large mixing bowl, add all the ingredients for the meatballs aside from the olive oil. Use your clean hands to mix everything until well incorporated. Make 1-inch balls out of the meat mixture.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add olive oil and allow it to become hot.
Add the meatballs into the hot skillet, then cook each side for a few minutes until they turn brown. Move them onto a clean plate.
Add butter to the same skillet and allow it to melt. Add the onion and sauté for a few minutes until soft.
Add the garlic and 2 tbsp of flour, then cook for a minute until aromatic. This will help remove the raw taste of the flour.
Gradually add the chicken broth and scrape the bottom of the skillet to get the browned bits. Simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken the sauce.
Add paprika, BBQ sauce, and tomato ketchup. Stir everything until well blended. Add more broth if the texture of the sauce becomes too thick. Season with a bit of salt and pepper.
Bring the meatballs back into the skillet, then toss to coat with the sauce. Remove from the heat.
For the Mashed Potatoes:
Place a large pot with enough water to submerge the potatoes on the stove and turn the heat to high. Allow the water to boil. Add the potatoes and cook for a few minutes until fork-tender.
Transfer the cooked potatoes into a large bowl, then mash them.
Add salt, butter, milk, and pepper. Stir everything until well incorporated.
Serve the meatballs over the mashed potatoes and top with gravy. Enjoy!
