French Onion Meatballs


  • Author: Chef Mia

Description

Savory meatballs simmered in a rich French onion soup-inspired gravy, topped with melted Gruyère cheese.


Ingredients

Scale

For the Crust:

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 large onions, thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • 1 cup shredded Gruyère cheese
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

1. Prepare the Crust:

  1. In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  2. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook until caramelized, about 20 minutes.
  3. Add meatballs to the skillet and brown on all sides. Pour in beef broth, remaining Worcestershire sauce, and thyme. Simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Preheat broiler. Transfer meatballs and gravy to an oven-safe dish, top with Gruyère cheese, and broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 3-5 minutes.
