Meatballs and Gravy

This is my Mom's recipe and whenever I make it, it always reminds me of home.  Be sure to serve it with mashed potatoes and some fresh green beans on the side!  This recipe freezes well too!

Meatballs and Gravy

1 small onion, chopped

1 lb ground beef

1/2 cup Saltines, crushed

1 egg

Salt and Pepper, to taste

2 12oz cans beef broth

1/2 cup water

2 tbsp corn starch

Combine all of the ingredients together (except beef broth).  Add more crackers or onion if desired.  Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and brown meatballs in a little oil.  Simmer for 1/2 hour making sure to brown all of the sides of the meatball.  Add 1/2 can of beef broth and 1/2 can water and simmer 20 more minutes.  At the end of cooking time, add the rest of the beef broth.

Mix corn starch and a little water.  Mix and add to the gravy forming in the pan, to thicken.  Bring to a light boil until the gravy is thick.

You can cook these much longer than the recipe calls - just make sure that the meatballs are really done.
