Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F for baking meatballs after shaping.
In a bowl, mix ground beef, panko, onion, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper until combined.
Shape into meatballs, place on a parchment-lined baking sheet, and bake for 25-30 minutes until cooked through and browned.
Boil peeled cubed potatoes in salted water for 15 minutes until fork-tender.
Mash potatoes with butter and milk until smooth, seasoning with salt as desired.
Melt butter in a skillet, add chopped onion, and cook until soft. Stir in flour, then whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and ketchup, simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Pour gravy over the cooked meatballs and serve alongside mashed potatoes.
