French Onion Meatballs

March 13, 2019 By Leah Leave a Comment

French Onion Meatballs

This delicious main dish tastes just like a bowl of hot, gooey cheese covered French Onion Soup!  The ground chicken makes for a very tender and mild meatball that soaks in all the amazing french onion ‘soup’ gravy.  I served this with roasted potatoes to soak up every bit of caramelized onion goodness! Because I was so excited to try this dinner, I forgot to snap a photo of the finished plate!  So until I make it again, (yes I am FOR SURE making it again) the pan of simmering meatballs will have to do!

What you need:

Meatballs:

  • 1 lb. ground chicken (or turkey)
  • 1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese
  • 1/4 c. bread crumbs
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 1 Tbsp. (1 clove) minced garlic
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper

French Onion Gravy:

  • 4 tbsp. butter
  • 2 large onions, sliced
  • 1 Tbsp. (1 clove) minced garlic
  • 2 c. beef broth
  • 2 tsp. freshly chopped thyme*
  • salt
  • Freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 1/2 c. shredded Swiss cheese

Make the Meat Balls:

  • Preheat oven to 400° F.  Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly grease the paper
  • In a bowl, combine ground chicken, cheese, bread crumbs, egg, garlic, salt and pepper.
  • Form into 12 meatballs and place on a baking sheet.  Bake until golden and cooked through.  About 20 minutes.

Make the gravy:

  • While meatballs are baking:
  • Over VERY low heat add onion and butter.  Caramelize the onions for about 25 minutes stirring occasionally and cook until deep golden brown and tender.
  • Add minced garlic and thyme.  Cook 5 more minutes
  • Add broth, salt, pepper and increase heat to med/low.
  • Bring to a boil, lower heat, and reduce for about 10 minutes or until slightly thickened.
  • Add cooked meatballs and heat them back through.
  • Top with remaining shredded cheese and allow to melt.

*Rather than chopping the thyme, I just tossed in a few sprigs with the onions as they cooked and let them simmer in the broth.  Just remove the stems before serving!
