Meatballs with Caramelized Onion Mushroom Gravy

It has been raining for days here and I wanted comfort food that wouldn’t blow my diet, this recipe works for me. I bought a 93% ground beef to lessen the fat and baked the meatballs. I only used a teaspoon of oil to caramelize the onions which will work if you have a real heavy pan and patience.

Baking your meatballs instead of frying them as my grandmother would of done is a great way to reduce fat. Here are my meatballs just out of the oven. You can also freeze them at this point if you desire.

I served this with a Baked Brown Rice I made the other day but buttered noodles or mashed potatoes would also be good.

1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/4 cup finely chopped onion

While the meatballs are baking start the gravy by browning the onions in oil until they start to caramelize. Add garlic, continue to cook for 15 minutes. Add mushrooms and cook for another 5 minutes.
