Ingredients

Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1½ tablespoons beefy onion soup mix*

Gravy

1 (12oz) can beef gravy
1 (10.5oz) can cream mushroom soup
1 (10.5 oz) can beef broth or water

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, beaten egg, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, and beefy onion soup mix. Mix gently until all ingredients are well incorporated.
Using your hands or a cookie scoop, form the mixture into 2-tablespoon-sized meatballs. You should get about 24-26 meatballs.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add a little oil if needed to prevent sticking. Pan fry the meatballs for about 4 minutes, flipping halfway through until they are browned on all sides.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the canned beef gravy, cream of mushroom soup, and beef broth (or water) until smooth.
Pour the gravy mixture over the meatballs in the skillet. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low. Cover the skillet and let it simmer for about 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and reach an internal temperature of 160°F (70°C).
Serve the Salisbury steak meatballs hot, with your choice of sides like mashed potatoes, steamed green beans, or roasted Brussels sprouts. Enjoy!

Notes

Seasoning: Substitute your favorite beef seasoning.
Mix Gently: When combining your ingredients, mix gently to avoid overworking the meat. Overmixing can lead to dense, tough meatballs.
Uniform Size: Use a cookie scoop or your hands to form uniform-sized meatballs. This ensures even cooking.
Chill Before Cooking: If you have time, let the formed meatballs chill in the fridge for 15-30 minutes. This helps them hold their shape better when cooking.
Taste Test: Fry a small piece of the mixture before forming all your meatballs. This allows you to adjust the seasoning if needed.
