Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 2 servings

  • 1 egg

  • ¼ teaspoon oregano

  • 1 tablespoon water

  • ½ cup panko bread crumbs

  • ½ pound 80% lean ground beef

  • 1 (1.4 ounce) package dry French onion soup mix (such as Knorr®), divided

  • 1 cup water, divided

  • 1 tablespoon heavy whipping cream

  • ½ cup grated Gruyere cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a wire rack in a rimmed baking sheet.

  2. Combine egg, oregano, and 1 tablespoon water in a bowl and beat to combine. Add in panko and ground beef. Sprinkle 1/2 of the French onion mix on top and mix until thoroughly combined. Shape mixture into meatballs. Place meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until meatballs are cooked through, about 20 minutes.

  4. Meanwhile, add remaining French onion mix to a saucepan over medium heat. Whisk in 1/4 cup water until well combined. Allow to thicken. Whisk in another 1/4 cup water and allow to thicken. Repeat 2 more times until water is used up. Mix in cream and Gruyere cheese, stirring until cheese is melted. Serve cheese sauce with meatballs.
