Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, milk, egg, garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then shape the mixture into meatballs.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the flour over the melted butter and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth until smooth, then stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Cook, stirring constantly, until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Return the meatballs to the skillet, nestling them into the gravy. Reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Serve the meatballs and gravy hot, garnished with chopped parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
