Mix together by your hands folding all the seasonings into the beef equally and don’t over mix.
After scoop up 2 tablespoons of ground beef mixture into your hands and roll into a ball, sit aside until all the meatballs are made.
Then heat a large frying pan “ cast iron” with olive oil and tbsp butter, after starting frying the meatballs “ DON’T OVER CROWD YOUR PAN” fry until golden brown on all sides.

Then add meatballs to the boiler, adding the remainder of your seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, gravy browning or browning of choice, continue cooking.
In the same frying pan as the meatballs, add chopped onions or small pearl onions, with butter and olive oil, cook for 5 minutes, add 2 or 3 tbsp of flour mix in then add one or two cups of the beef broth and cook flour until it starts to thicken.
After adding the onion mixture to the boiler with all the other ingredients, mix in well and let the meatball stew continue cooking for 30 minutes on medium to low heat. Stirring occasionally! Add more seasonings to taste if needed, or more thickening.
Serve with bread rolls, bread or braided breadsticks.
Bonita’s Tips:
Peeling and cutting veggies up and putting in a bowl of cold water in advance will speed up meal time. Gravy browning don’t have any taste so it’s optional, use browning of choice.

Parsnips are usually in my stews. I must take your advice and add turnips. Thank you.
I just love yhis r3cipe. Do you think I can freeze some of it. I also enjoy your English Muffin Recipe. I make these muffins on e every two weeks, my husband and I adore them. Delicious and so easy to make.
Hi Rae, Thank you for stopping by and for enjoying our recipes, the english muffins is a keeper for sure and they are only tiny little muffins but just right with a egg for sure. I’ve never froze the meatball stew but I’m sure you can freeze it in freezer containers to keep from going freezer burn. Or even freezer bags, just let it come to room temp first before bagging it. Thank you for stopping by and message any time. 🙂 Bonita
