1/4 cup Brown Mustard
1/4 cup Ketchup
1 teaspoon Powdered Beef Base or Crumbled Beef Bouillon Cubes
1 tablespoon Worcestershire Sauce
1/2 teaspoon Salt
1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) Land O’ Lakes Salted Butter
For the Gravy:

3 cups Beef Broth
2 tablespoons Worcestershire Sauce
2 tablespoons Cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons Water (for thickening)

Instructions:
1. Prepare the Meatballs
1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, seasoned breadcrumbs, brown mustard, ketchup, powdered beef base, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and black pepper. Mix until fully combined.
2. Form into evenly sized meatballs (about 1.5 inches in diameter).
2. Cook the Meatballs
1. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and melt the salted butter.
2. Add meatballs in batches to avoid overcrowding. Cook for 6–8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned. Remove meatballs and set aside.
3. Make the Gravy
1. In the same skillet, add sliced onions and sauté for 5–7 minutes until soft and caramelized.
2. Stir in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, scraping up browned bits for extra flavor.
3. Bring to a simmer and stir in the cornstarch slurry. Cook for 2–3 minutes until the gravy thickens.
4. Combine Meatballs and Gravy
1. Return meatballs to the skillet and coat them in the rich gravy.
2. Simmer for 10–15 minutes to meld flavors and fully cook the meatballs.
