Ingredients

  • For the meatballs:
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • For the gravy:
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the garlic herb mashed potatoes:
  • 2 pounds russet or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

  1. Place peeled and cubed potatoes in a large pot, cover with cold salted water, and bring to a boil. Cook for 15–20 minutes until fork-tender.
  2. In a bowl, gently combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into evenly sized meatballs.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat and cook meatballs for 8–10 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter for the gravy. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes until lightly golden.
  5. Slowly whisk in beef broth until smooth. Stir in ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Simmer until thickened.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet and spoon gravy over them. Simmer together for about 5 minutes.
  7. Drain cooked potatoes and return to the pot. Warm butter, milk, and minced garlic together, then pour over potatoes. Mash until smooth.
  8. Stir in chopped parsley and adjust salt to taste.
  9. Serve meatballs over mashed potatoes and spoon extra gravy on top.

Notes

  • Add sliced mushrooms to the gravy for extra flavor and texture.
  • Substitute ground turkey for a lighter option.
  • Caramelized onions can be stirred into the gravy for added sweetness.
  • Fresh thyme or rosemary adds a lovely herbal variation to the potatoes.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of broth or milk to maintain texture.
  • Freeze cooked meatballs and gravy for up to 2 months; prepare fresh mashed potatoes when serving for best results.
  • Use gluten-free breadcrumbs and cornstarch or gluten-free flour to make this recipe gluten-free.
