Pan-Fried Meatballs Cooked In Thick Onion Gravy
This meatball dinner is a hearty meal that comes together with minimal effort. It may not be a 15 minute – dump everything in a pan type of recipe, but for a scratch made dinner it is on the easier side. And it is a one pan meal so less dishes to wash.
The meatballs are a basic ground beef mixture that are pan fried. Then just saute onions, build a gravy and let the meatballs finish cooking in a rich, flavorful sauce. This will be a new go-to meal that the entire family will love!
Vidalia Onions are a mild, sweet onion grown in a specific area within Southern Georgia. I'm originally from Georgia so I may be a tad bit biased when I say these onions are the best. But no, they really are The Best!
These onions are so mild they don't even cause tears. I can attest to this because standard onion have me bawling and Vidalia Onions don't even cause one tear. The quality and flavor of Vidalia Onions are unbeatable!
