Tender Meatballs and Gravy

Meatballs gravy, a recipe with photos of which you can see on the screen, turn out to be very tasty, juicy and fragrant. At the same time, you get not only a tasty meat dish, but also an ideal sauce for mashed potatoes, pasta or other side dishes. To make the meatballs juicy and tender, it is best to cook them from mixed mince. Today I used pork and chicken fillet. Be sure to add onions to the mince, it will make homemade meatballs and gravy juicier and give a special aroma to the gravy in which the meatballs will simmer. Otherwise, the choice of spices remains with you. I used black ground pepper and ready-made seasoning for meat. Additionally, during the stewing, you can add a bay leaf and several peas of black allspice to the sauce.
