Calories: 633kcal
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground beef
- one half cup breadcrumbs
- one fourth cup milk
- one half tsp. salt
- 2 tbsp. fresh parsley chopped
- 1 egg
- one fourth cup onion finely diced
- 1 cup shredded swiss cheese
- 1 tbs. olive oil
French Onions
- 3 large onions sliced
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 ½ cups beef stock
- ½ tsp. garlic powder
- 2 tbs. butter
Instructions
- Begin by combining all of the ingredients in the meatball section, except for the shredded cheese and oil, in a large mixing bowl.
- Mix together with your hands and then form them into golf ball-sized balls
- Heat olive oil in an ovenproof skillet (I use cast iron), on medium heat. Add meatballs and cook until they are brown all around. This will take about 5-10 minutes.
- Place meatballs on a plate to the side.
- In that same skillet, add butter and onions. Allow onions to brown a bit (around 5 minutes) and then add the salt. Continue cooking until the onions are rich in color and soft. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
- Add beef stock and garlic powder to the onions and stir.
- Place meatballs back in and top with cheese.
- Finish the dish in the oven until the cheese is melted and the meatballs are cooked through.
