Combine Ingredients. Place all meatball ingredients into a large bowl and mix them together until combined.
1 lb ground beef, ¼ cup yellow onion, ½ cup bread crumbs, 2 large eggs, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper, ½ cup water
Form Meatballs. Using a spoon or a cookie scoop, take a small amount of meat and form 18 - 1 inch round balls. Roll each meatball around in the palm of your hand to smooth it into a round shape and set aside on a plate.
Fry Meatballs. Heat canola oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and once the oil is hot, carefully place each meatball into the skillet to cook. Brown the meatballs on each side, then remove them from the pan and set them aside on a clean plate while you make the gravy.
2 tablespoons canola oil
Make The Sauce
Make a roux. Put butter into the pan over medium heat and stir it around as it melts. Then add the flour and continue to stir for 3 minutes.
4 tablespoons butter, ¼ cup all purpose flour
Add Broth. Next add beef broth and stir that into the roux until it is bubbling.
4 cups beef broth
Add Heavy Cream. Stir in some heavy cream and season with salt.
