What You’ll Need:

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 carrots, peeled and sliced
  • 2 celery stalks, sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (14.5 ounces) diced tomatoes
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Step 1: Preparing the Meatballs

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, milk, egg, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Step 2: Forming the Meatballs

Take small portions of the meat mixture and roll them into balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Repeat until all the mixture is used.

Step 3: Browning the Meatballs

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides. This step adds a delicious caramelized flavor to the meatballs.

Step 4: Preparing the Sauce

Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside. In the same skillet, add the diced onion, carrots, celery, and minced garlic. Sauté until the vegetables are tender.

Step 5: Simmering the Stew

Add the beef broth, diced tomatoes (with their juice), bay leaf, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes.

Step 6: Adding the Meatballs

Gently place the meatballs back into the skillet, making sure they are submerged in the sauce. Cover the skillet and let the stew simmer for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked and tender.

Step 7: Serving and Enjoying

Remove the bay leaf from the stew and taste for seasoning. Adjust the salt and pepper if needed. Serve the meatball stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley, along with some crusty bread or pasta. Enjoy this deliciously moist meatball stew!

With these easy steps, you can create a mouthwatering meatball stew that will impress your family and friends. Its rich sauce and tender meatballs make it a perfect comfort food for any occasion. Give it a try, and you’ll have a heartwarming dish that is sure to become a family favorite.
