Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- ¼ cup onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour

- 2 pounds potatoes, peeled and cubed
- ½ cup milk or more as needed
- 4 tablespoons butter

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, garlic, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, pepper, and dried parsley. Mix well until combined.
- Shape the meat mixture into 12 equal-sized meatballs and place them on a baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, until cooked through and browned.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the mashed potatoes. In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add the cubed potatoes. Cook until tender, about 15-20 minutes.
- Drain the potatoes and return them to the pot. Add milk, butter, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy, adjusting the milk as needed for desired consistency.
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Whisk in the flour and cook for about 1-2 minutes until golden.
- Gradually add beef broth, whisking constantly, until the mixture thickens. Stir in soy sauce, ketchup, garlic powder, and season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 5 minutes.
- Once the meatballs are done baking, add them to the skillet with the gravy and coat well.
- Serve the Salisbury meatballs over the creamy mashed potatoes, drizzling more gravy on top if desired.
Notes
