Cooking Steps
- Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F.
- Wash and dry all produce.
- Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then peel and cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- To a large pot, add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) (use same for 4 servings). Cover and bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-high. Simmer uncovered for 10-12 min, until fork-tender.
- Drain and return potatoes to the pot, off heat.
- Mash cheddar and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter into potatoes until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
- Meanwhile, heat a large non-stick pan over medium.
- While the pan heats, peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices.
- When the pan is hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then swirl the pan until melted.
- Add onions. Cook for 8-10 min, stirring occasionally, until golden. Season with salt and pepper. (TIP: If onions are getting too dark, reduce heat to medium-low.)
- Meanwhile, halve tomatoes.
- To a large bowl, add panko and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) milk, then stir to combine.
- To the large bowl with panko, add beef, half the Worcestershire sauce and half the broth concentrate. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
- On a parchment-lined baking sheet, arrange meatballs. Roast in the top of the oven for 10-12 min, until browned and cooked through.**
- When meatballs are halfway done, to the pan with onions, add Gravy Spice Blend, remaining Worcestershire and remaining broth concentrate. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until onions are coated.
- Gradually stir in 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water. Increase heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring often, until gravy comes to a simmer.
- Simmer for 2-3 min, stirring occasionally, until gravy thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper, if you like.
- In a medium bowl, whisk together red wine vinegar, 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) sugar. Add spring mix and tomatoes. Toss to combine.
- To the pan with gravy, add meatballs. Gently stir to coat.
- Divide mash and salad between plates.
- Arrange meatballs over mash. Spoon caramelized onion gravy over meatballs.
