Ingredients
Scale
1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
1 egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
Salt and pepper to taste
1 cup beef broth
1 tbsp cornstarch
1 tbsp olive oil
2 lbs potatoes, peeled and quartered
1/4 cup milk
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp fresh herbs (like parsley and chives), chopped
Instructions
Prepare the Meatball Mixture: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, and a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Use your hands to mix everything gently until well combined.
Form the Meatballs: With your hands, shape the beef mixture into meatballs about the size of a golf ball.
Simmer the Gravy: Once the meatballs are nicely browned, remove them from the skillet. Pour in the beef broth, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Thicken the Gravy: In a small bowl, mix 1 tablespoon of cornstarch with a little water until smooth. Stir this mixture into the simmering broth, allowing it to thicken. Return the meatballs to the skillet.
Boil the Potatoes: Place the peeled and quartered potatoes in a large pot of salted water. Bring to a boil and cook until tender, about 15 minutes.
Mash the Potatoes: Once the potatoes are tender, drain them and return them to the pot. Add 1/4 cup milk, 2 tablespoons of butter, and the chopped fresh herbs. Mash until smooth and creamy.
Serve and Enjoy: Plate with a generous portion of garlic herb mashed potatoes topped with meatballs and gravy.
Notes
Consider serving with a side salad and crusty bread for soaking up extra gravy.
