FRENCH ONION MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.

• Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add remaining French onion mix to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup water until well combined. Allow to thicken. Whisk in another 1/4 cup water and allow to thicken. Repeat 2 more times until water is used up. Mix in cream and Gruyere cheese, stirring until cheese is melted. Serve cheese sauce with meatballs.

FRENCH ONION BEEF MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Combine beef, bread crumbs, onion, garlic, and soup mix in a large bowl. Knead the mixture with your hands until well blended; it will be quite dry. Add eggs and Italian dressing and mix. Allow mixture to sit in the refrigerator 10 minutes.
• Pinch off just enough of the meatball mixture to fit comfortably inside your palm, then roll to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
• Cover the bottom of a skillet lightly with olive oil and heat to medium-high. Add meatballs. Cook on one side for about 4 minutes, then turn and continue to cook until browned and no longer pink in the centers, about 4 minutes more. You may need to cook these in batches depending on how large your skillet is.

MEATBALLS - FRENCH STYLE (WITH GRAVY)

Steps:

• In a bowl mix the first 8 ingredients and form into 25 - 30 meatballs (about the size of a walnut).
• In a large fry pan, heat the butter (the French cook mainly with butter - not oil and this really does make a BIG difference to the overall dish). Add the prepared meatballs (I try to make mine during the day so that dinner is on the table faster). Gently fry over a medium heat (don't burn your butter) for 10 - 15 minutes shaking your pan regularly to shift the meatballs to cook on all sides.
• Reduce heat to low (once meatballs are ALMOST cooked through) and add the remaining ingredients. Simmer and shake the pan often for 5 minutes (sauce will thicken). Serve with buttered rice or mashed potatoes.
