I get raves from my husband and even our three fussy children when I serve these satisfying meatballs with mashed potatoes. The savory cream sauce gives a tasty new twist to meatballs and always makes a memorable meal.

Ingredients

1 egg, lightly beaten
1/4 cup 2% milk
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 cup quick-cooking oats
1/4 cup finely chopped onion
1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1-1/2 pounds lean ground beef (90% lean)
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
CREAM SAUCE:
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (14 ounces) chicken broth
2/3 cup heavy whipping cream
2 tablespoons minced fresh parsley

Directions

Preheat oven to 400°. In a large bowl, combine the egg, milk, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, oats, onion, parsley, salt and pepper. Crumble beef over mixture and mix well. Shape into 1-1/2-in. balls. Roll in flour, shaking off excess.
Place meatballs on greased racks in shallow baking pans. Bake, uncovered, at for 10 minutes. Turn meatballs; bake until meat is no longer pink, 12-15 minutes longer.
Meanwhile, for sauce, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir in the flour, thyme, salt and pepper until smooth. Gradually add broth and cream. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened, 2 minutes.
Drain meatballs on paper towels; transfer to a serving dish. Serve with sauce; sprinkle with parsley.
