Meatballs with Gravy
Ingredients for the Meatballs:
1 lb of ground beef
½ lb of ground pork (Cordray Brother’s sausage is a good pick!)
½ cup onions (I choose not to put in onions, but it is your preference)
¾ cup dried bread crumbs
1 Tbsp parsley
2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
½ cup milk
Ingredients for the Gravy:
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup all purpose flour
½ tsp salt
1/8 tap pepper
2 cups water
¾ cup sour cream
To prepare the meatballs:
Combine all ingredients in a large bowl. Once combined roll some meat into about 1 inch thick balls. (You can choose to make them thicker, but the thicker they are the longer it takes to cook them.) Cook each meatball in a saucepan with oil until the meat is cooked through. Let them sit on a paper towel lined plate to drain the excess oil. Set aside.
To prepare the gravy:
Add the first 4 ingredients until they are smooth. Add the water and bring to a boil for 1 minute. Remove from the heat and add the sour cream (not while boiling).
Once the gravy is done, add the meatballs back into the pan and let everything heat. Serve the meatballs and gravy with rice.
If you like to prepare ahead of time, this is a great recipe. You can cook the meatballs and once they have cooled, you can freeze them. Then whenever you are in a crunch for supper, just let the meatballs thaw and you only have to make the sauce!
