French Onion Meatballs

Ingredients:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1 lb ground pork
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 2 eggs
• 2 large onions, thinly sliced
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1/2 cup beef broth
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
• 1 teaspoon thyme
• 1 cup grated Gruyère cheese
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying

Directions:

1. In a skillet, melt butter over medium heat and add sliced onions with a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are caramelized, about 15-20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, pepper, thyme, half of the caramelized onions, and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until well combined.
3. Shape the mixture into 1.5-inch meatballs.
4. In the same skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add meatballs and fry until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes.
5. Add beef broth to the skillet and bring to a simmer. Return the remaining caramelized onions to the skillet and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
6. Sprinkle Gruyère cheese over the meatballs and onions. Cover the skillet briefly to melt the cheese.
7. Serve hot, garnished with a little more thyme if desired.
