Meat Balls In Green Pepper Gravy
Ingredients:
– 1 lb ground beef
– 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1 egg, beaten
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1 teaspoon onion powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 1 green bell pepper, diced
– 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1/2 cup heavy cream
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, beaten egg, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. You should get around 20 meatballs from the mixture.
3. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and brown them on all sides, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
4. In the same skillet, add the diced green pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.
5. Sprinkle the flour over the peppers and stir to combine, cooking for an additional minute to remove the raw flour taste.
6. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for 5 minutes until slightly thickened.
7. Stir in the heavy cream and return the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer the meatballs in the gravy for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through.
8. Season with additional salt and pepper to taste. If the gravy is too thick, you can add more beef broth to reach your desired consistency.
9. Serve the meatballs in green pepper gravy hot over cooked pasta or rice. Garnish with fresh parsley for an added burst of flavor.
