Debz Meatball, Gravy & Rice
- 15 Meatballs (frozen or fresh)
- 1/2 Onion
- 1 box Sliced mushrooms
- 2 cup Chicken broth
- 3 tbsp Lipton onion seasoning
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 Steamed rice
- 1 Zucchini (optional)
- 5 pats of Butter
- VEGGIE PREP: I bought a package of already sliced mushrooms so no slicing needed.
- You'll be sauteeing the mushrooms so they will shrink in size so no need to chop the mushrooms small (unless that's what you prefer).
- Chop your garlic and slice onions, set aside.
- My zucchini was on its way out so I chopped up those and will add to the dish.
- COOKING PREPPED VEGGIES: Heat pan on med to med high with 2 tablespoons of butter.
- Once melted, add garlic then mushrooms.
- Sautee for about 10 mins.
- They will have shrunken by then and maybe a bit carmelized.
- Put another pat of butter in the pan with mushrooms and add onions.
- Sautee until the onions are soft, but not mushy - about 10 mins.
- I put in my zucchini in at the same time with the onions.
- Sautee everything together.
- When sauteed and carmelized, set aside in glass dish or bowl until the gravy is ready
- MAKING THE GRAVY: Using the same pan that you sauteed veggies, heat 2-3 pats of butter on med high.
- Once melted, add flour to begin your roux.
- Mixing flour and melted butter with a whisk, brown flour for about 5 mins.
- The longer you cook the flour in butter, the darker the flour will get.
- If you like light colored gravy, no need to saute for 5 mins.
- I like my gravy dark plus cooking it longer cooks out the flour taste.
- Add onion soup mix to the roux then immediately and slowly add the broth while mixing with the whisk.
- Continue to whisk the liquid and make sure there are no flour chunks.
- Bring temp down to med, allow to simmer and occasionally whisk for the next 3-4 min.
- If your gravy is too thick, add additional broth in 1/2 cup increments.
- If it looks like you have too much liquid, allow sauce to simmer longer.
- Turn temp down to med low and add sauteed veggies and meatballs to the gravy.
- Allow to gently simmer for about 20 min or untill the meatballs are hot and cooked through.
- Put rice on your plate and top with the meatball/gravy mixture.
- Top with chopped chives and sliced bread.
- Throw in some hot sauce for heat.
- ENJOY!
