  • 1 large egg

  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

Instructions

  • Gently mix ground beef, minced yellow onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg, Worcestershire Sauce, salt, and pepper in a large bowl. Using a 1 1/2 tablespoon scoop, form meatballs and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, adding more oil if needed. Remove meatballs to a plate and cover to keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook until soft and lightly browned, about 7-10 minutes. Sprinkle with garlic powder and flour, stirring constantly for 2 minutes.
  • Gradually add beef broth, stirring continuously. Simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Return meatballs to the skillet, simmer for 8-10 minutes. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.
