Ingredients
– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 1 egg
– 1/2 cup diced onion
– 3 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 teaspoon dried thyme
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 2 cups Guinness stout
– 2 cups beef broth
– 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
– 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
– 2 tablespoons butter
– Fresh parsley, for garnish
Instructions
1. – In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, panko breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
2. – Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
3. – In a large skillet, heat a drizzle of oil over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 2-3 minutes per side. Transfer the browned meatballs to a plate.
4. – In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

6. – Add the browned meatballs back to the skillet and gently stir to coat them in the gravy. Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer for 10-15 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
7. – Serve the Guinness Gravy Meatballs hot, garnished with fresh parsley. Enjoy!
Notes
For a creamier gravy, you can stir in a tablespoon or two of heavy cream or sour cream at the end. You can also add sautéed mushrooms or onions to the gravy for extra flavor.
