Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated onion
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried rosemary
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried sage
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, grated onion, minced garlic, chopped parsley, salt, black pepper, paprika, dried thyme, dried oregano, dried rosemary, and dried sage. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.
  2. Shape the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until it turns golden brown. Slowly whisk in the beef broth, scraping the bottom of the skillet to release any browned bits.
  5. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer for 5 minutes, or until the gravy thickens.
  6. Stir in the sour cream until well combined. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for an additional 10 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the flavors are well incorporated.
  8. Serve the meatballs in sour cream gravy hot with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. Enjoy!
