0:30
ingredients we're going to make the

0:34
go in a large mixing bowl we're going to
0:37
place 1 and 12 lbs of ground
0:43
beef i'm just going to break it up now
0:45
if you want to use one pound of ground
0:47
beef and half a pound of pork you can do
0:50
that now what I had was one and a half
0:54
pounds of the ground beef so we're going
0:56
to do that
0:58
cooking is like using what you have in
1:00
your pantry and your
1:03
refrigerator that way you're always
1:04
saving money all right broke it up
1:07
that's good right there i'm going to go
1:08
wash my
1:10
hands we're going to chop up one yellow
1:15
onion take off the
1:19
ends the outer layer
1:23
now the onions are going to give little
1:25
pockets of goodness in your
1:28
meatball keep it nice and
1:31
moist and adds
1:35
flavor i'm short a person today all
1:38
right we're going to cut our onion in
1:39
half and then we're going to turn it
1:40
over we're going to slice the onion and
1:42
then we're going to dice the
1:45
onion yep my husband had to go and help
1:48
Rihanna that's our daughter her battery
1:51
went out in her car so he's going over
1:53
there to help them replace
1:55
it so she can get to
2:00
work all right I'm just going to turn it
2:03
run a knife
2:10
through and then we'll add the onion to
2:13
our ground
2:15
beef making meatballs is really simple
2:19
you're just adding flavor to some ground
2:21
beef you're gonna roll them up you got
2:23
to make a delicious sauce for it that's
2:25
what pulls it all
2:27
together that's the only chopping we're
2:29
doing
2:30
today all right let's add it to the
2:33
ground
2:36
beef all right we're going to add in 3/4
2:39
cup of bread crumbs now I've got the
2:43
Italian style and that's totally fine
2:46
got a half a cup here so we'll go in one
2:48
and 1/2
2:50
times 1/4 cup of
2:54
milk
2:56
yeah get that in the breadcrumbs
2:59
there we're going to add one
3:02
egg crack it in a bowl that way I don't
3:05
have to dig out any shells it would be
3:07
almost impossible to find shells in
3:09
there so use a bowl we're going to add
3:12
in half a tablespoon of minced
3:19
garlic okay we're going to add in some
3:22
salt and
3:25
pepper got 3/4 of a teaspoon of salt
3:28
going in about half a teaspoon of black
3:32
pepper all right we're going to put some
3:34
gloves on or you can just go right into
3:37
the mixture mix it all up till it's well
3:39
combined
3:41
we're going to form
3:43
meatballs now I'm not baking the
3:45
meatballs today we are going to sauté
3:47
them get them nice and brown so once we
3:50
form the meatballs we'll place them on a
3:52
sheet pan here that way we just have
3:53
them all ready to go before we start
3:56
browning them up all right here we
4:01
go all right that's a big meatball let's
4:05
make smaller ones
4:08
i'm going to take a small scoop this is
4:10
like a 1 and 1/2 tablespoon scoop here
4:14
i'm going to go in push through the side
4:17
of the bowl that way we can keep all the
4:19
meatballs the same size i'm going to
4:22
plop it on my pan now I just lined it
4:24
with some parchment paper that way it's
4:26
an easy throw away and then we don't
4:28
mess up our pan here i'm going to keep
4:30
doing
4:32
this till I get them all out and then
4:35
we'll roll them into
4:38
balls now you can certainly half this
4:41
recipe if you want to do that i have
4:45
plenty of
4:47
people that will eat these meatballs
4:54
when you love a certain dish it's worth
4:58
the effort and the time that you put
5:00
into
5:00
it we're going to take one of the
5:04
meatballs we're going to roll it nice
5:06
and
5:07
tight that way they don't fall apart
5:10
when we're cooking
5:12
them that's what we're looking for right
5:14
there
5:23
these meatballs freeze well
5:27
also my mom would make a ton of these
5:30
and freeze them in batches and then give
5:32
them to us when we came and visited her
5:34
and my
5:42
dad all right we're at the end
5:54
let's see how many we made 1 2 3 4 5 6 7
5:57
* 428 we're going to place a large
6:01
burner on mediumigh
6:04
heat place a long
6:08
narrow skillet on the heat we're going
6:11
to start heating that up we're going to
6:13
add in one tablespoon of cooking oil
6:23
one tablespoon of
6:27
butter we're going to let this melt
6:29
together and get nice and hot without
6:32
turning the butter
6:33
brown we want to get a nice crust on the
6:37
meatballs on all
6:39
sides let's add them
6:42
in all
7:04
right let them sit for a few
7:07
minutes all right let's turn around
7:17
all right we're going to give these a
7:18
few more minutes on that
7:20
side and then we're just going to roll
7:23
them around until they're brown on all
7:27
sides look at that nice crust look at
7:30
that nice crust on there
7:41
now once these are cooked through we're
7:44
going to remove them and place them on a
7:45
plate and set them aside until we get
7:46
the sauce
7:49
going all right now what I like to do is
7:52
take a meatball break it in half just
7:55
one make sure it's cooked all the way
7:58
through and as you can see it
8:04
is all right we're going to place these
8:06
onto a plate
8:10
let them rest
8:11
there then we're going to make that
8:14
delicious creamy
8:23
gravy okay I cooled the pan down just a
8:26
little bit i'm going to add in 3
8:29
tablespoon of
8:31
butter we're going to let that melt
8:34
then when that melts we're going to add
8:36
in three tablespoons of allpurpose flour
8:40
i'm just going to sprinkle that
8:45
around we're going to whisk the flour
8:47
into the
8:48
butter what that's going to do is cook
8:50
out that raw flavor from the
8:54
flour we're going to cook this for 2
8:59
minutes i'm just using a whisk here it's
9:02
got little silicone knobs on the bottom
9:05
really helps mix things
9:07
together for gravies rs now what we're
9:12
going to do is add in 1 and a3 cups of
9:16
beef broth little bit at a
9:27
time and then the rest now I think I've
9:30
got two cups of beef broth in there you
9:33
can use vegetable stock if you want to
9:35
do that if you want a lighter flavor you
9:38
can do a chicken
9:40
broth i'm just whisk this
9:45
continually till the lumps break up in
9:49
there got my heavy cream right here 2/3
9:53
cup we're going to add it in
10:06
all right let's add some more flavor
10:09
little squeeze of some
10:12
mustard if you have Dijon mustard that
10:14
would go good too a little drizzle of
10:19
whooes little bit of
10:22
nutmeg let's blend this all together
10:28
all right we're just allowing the sauce
10:30
to
10:31
thicken grab you a spoon this is the
10:34
