Meatballs and Onion Gravy
This delicious meal of meatballs and onion gravy reminds me of gramma’s hamburger gravy she made when we were kids. It’s made similarly but instead of cooking the ground beef, we are making it into meatballs. Then we will make a simple gravy from scratch using the drippings.
