Meatballs (and Mashed Potatoes) with Gravy is comfort food that is filling and delicious! Meatballs in a savory brown gravy, served over creamy mashed potatoes!
Mashed Potatoes, for serving, Optional *see notes. **Nutritional calculations do not include mashed potatoes.
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400° Grease a baking sheet.
In a bowl, mix together the ground beef, eggs, milk, crushed crackers and seasonings. Mix well. It will be sticky, this is what you want so the meatballs aren't dry.
Roll the meatballs about a heaping tablespoon, rolling them and placing them on the baking sheet. They can be placed closer together, just leave a little room around each meatball. I get about 35 meatballs out of the recipe.
Bake at 400 ° for 20 minutes. Check the meatballs and make sure they are done. You can cut one in half and make sure it is no longer pink, or use a meat thermometer and check the center of a meatball and make sure it reads 165 °
While your meatballs are baking make your mashed potatoes and make the brown gravy. I make my brown gravy in large skillet so I can add the meatballs to it after they are done baking.
After the meatballs have baked, add them to the gravy and gently stir them into the gravy so they are covered in gravy.
Serve your meatballs and gravy over your mashed potatoes.
Notes
For your mashed potatoes, make as many as your family will like. I like russet potatoes the best. Peel them, cut them into small pieces and boil them until soft and tender. Then drain them and mash them using some butter, milk and salt to taste.I use packet gravy for the gravy. This is easy and the gravy I love and the gravy we had growing up. I make 4 cups of gravy for this recipe. See blog post above for the gravy I love. You can also use my Easy White Country Gravy that would be amazing with this recipe!You can freeze these meatballs - see blog post above!
