Making this meatballs and gravy recipe is simple and rewarding. Follow these easy steps for delicious results:

1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Meat Mixture: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all ingredients are combined.
3. Form the Meatballs: Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. Bake the Meatballs: Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 minutes or until nicely browned.
5. Make the Gravy: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce; stir to combine.
6. Thicken the Gravy (Optional): If you prefer a thicker gravy, mix cornstarch with a tablespoon of water in a small bowl. Stir this mixture into the gravy, cooking for an additional few minutes until it thickens to your desired consistency.
7. Combine: Once the meatballs are cooked, carefully add them to the skillet with the gravy. Let them simmer for 5 to 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
8. Adjust Seasoning: Taste and adjust the seasoning of the gravy if needed by adding more salt and pepper.

With these straightforward steps, your meatballs will be bursting with flavor and your gravy will have a rich, satisfying profile.
