Easy Baked Meatballs and Gravy

This post is about easy baked meatballs and gravy.

I’m so excited to share one of my all time favorite meatball recipes with you! In just a few easy steps you'll have the ultimate comfort food. It’s definitely a meal the whole family will enjoy. Easy baked meatballs and gravy will soon be one of your favorite recipes!

How to make your meatballs and gravy

One thing I love most about this recipe is that it only uses ONE pan. I do recommend a cast iron skillet. If you do not have a cast iron skillet, just make sure your skillet has at least 2 inch sides to keep the gravy from spilling over.

First, you brown the meatballs in the pan, leaving all the browned bits in the pan. Then, in the same pan you will mix the gravy recipe. Finally, you combine the meatballs and gravy all together. Then bake in the oven until the meatballs are cooked through and smothered in a rich brown gravy.

These savory meatballs are sure to be a game changer and one of your favorite recipes on a regular basis.

Gravy Ingredients

2. Mix egg, dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, salt and pepper in bottom of a large bowl.

7. Sear meatballs, cooking for about 1 minute on each side until golden brown on all sides.
8. Using a slotted spoon, remove meatballs and place on plate. The meatballs will NOT be cooked through.
