Equipment
- Large skillet
- Whisk
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds Meatballs
- 2-3 cups Beef Broth
- 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour
- 1-2 cups Milk as needed
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- 2 Tablespoons Butter optional
Instructions
- Follow package directions to prepare meatballs in a skillet.
- Add the beef broth and bring to a simmer, then remove meatballs to a bowl.
- Whisk in the flour, breaking up any clumps.
- Add milk and simmer for 8 minutes until thickened, adding additional milk as desired to make more "gravy."
- Season to taste with salt and pepper before adding the meatballs back to the skillet.
- Add optional butter for a smoother gravy.
Notes
- Make sure to wait until the gravy has finished thickening before adding the meatballs back into the skillet.
- If you want a smoother gravy, add a tablespoon of butter at the end of cooking.
- If you don't want to worry about lumps, mix the flour in equal portions to water or room temperature beef broth before adding it to the skillet.
- Making your own homemade meatballs with ground beef or ground pork? Make sure to cook them all the way through before you make the gravy.
- For creamy meatballs with a little tang, add 1/2 cup of sour cream to the gravy once it's cooked.
- Garnish with fresh parsley for a nice pop of color.
- Serve over noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a filling meal.
