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 ½ 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.
