French Onion Meatballs
These delicious French onion meatballs are made with French onion seasoned ground beef simmered in a flavorful sauce and covered in gooey cheese.
Ingredients
- 1 pound Ground Beef
- 1 ounce Liption Onion Soup Packet (dry)
- 1 cup Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
- 1 Egg
- ½ cup Milk
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese
- 2 large Onions, sliced
- 2 cups Beef Broth
- ¼ c Olive OIl
- 3 tbs Butter
- 3 tbs Four
- 1 cup Swiss Cheese, hand grated
- 2 tbs Garlic Powder (divided)
- 1 tbs Thyme
- Salt and Pepper to taste
- Fresh Parsley, Chopped (optional garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°
- First, combine the ground beef, onion soup packet, egg, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper and 1 tbs of garlic powder in a large bowl.
- Now, form them into small-medium, equal sized meatballs and place them onto a parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake them in the oven for 30 minutes.
- In the meantime, heat the oil in a large pan and add the sliced onions. Cook them for about 10 minutes or until they begin to soften.
- Now, season them with salt and pepper and stir in the butter. Once the butter is melted stir in the flour and let that cook for about 3 minutes.
- Then, add the beef broth and bring everything to a boil. Season the broth with salt, pepper and 1 tbs of garlic powder and thyme. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done, carefully add them to the onions and beef broth.
- Now cover them in shredded Swiss cheese and sprinkle the top with fresh parsley.
- Next, put a lid on and let the cheese melt. This shouldn’t take more than a few minutes.
- Finally, serve warm over rice, pasta or egg noodles. Enjoy!
