** I personally omitted the salt in the
Gravy section and only used half of the pepper that it calls for. The beef consommé was high in salt and I think enough.
Ingredients
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1 medium onion, chopped
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 pounds ground beef
GRAVY:
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2-3/4 cups 2% milk
2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper (I used only half of this)
3/4 teaspoon salt (I omitted this salt, the consommé provided enough for my taste)
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the first six ingredients.
Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. meatballs (about 36).
In a large skillet, brown meatballs in batches. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain, reserving drippings in pan.
For gravy, stir flour into drippings; cook and stir until light brown (do not burn). Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Stir in the consomme, Worcestershire sauce, pepper and salt. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
Return meatballs to pan. Cook, uncovered, 15-20 minutes longer or until meatballs are cooked through, stirring occasionally.
Enjoy!!! 😋😋
