Meatballs with gravy is a comforting dish often found in Scandinavian, American, and Central European cuisines. Traditionally made from seasoned ground meat—such as pork, beef, or a mix—these bite-sized portions are rolled and pan-fried or baked, then simmered in a flavorful brown gravy. Ingredients like breadcrumbs and eggs help bind the meatballs, while the gravy typically combines meat drippings, flour, and broth for richness. While this dish provides a good source of protein and iron from the meat, its healthiness depends on preparation methods. Leaner meats or plant-based alternatives can reduce saturated fat. Moderation of added salt and serving sizes also impact its nutritional profile. Pairing it with vegetables or whole grains can balance its heavier elements. Though hearty and indulgent, mindful preparation can make this dish a well-rounded option for mealtime enjoyment.
