Tips and Tricks About this Recipe

Even better than rice and gravy are meatballs and gravy over that rice. You might have tried my baked meatballs with rice and gravy, which is delicious but takes a long time to cook. The secret to making this version so quick and easy is using ground sausage for the meatballs instead of seasoning your own meat.

You don’t need bread crumbs or seasonings, or milk. Just grab a pound of sausage and a cookie scoop, and you are on your way to a fabulous dinner. These easy meatballs could also be used for spaghetti and meatballs instead, or go to town with a toothpick and these meatballs on their own as party food!

Easiest Ever Meatballs and Gravy - You only need 6 ingredients and 20 minutes for this delicious dinner! #meatballs #easy

Assuming you don’t eat all your meatballs before they make it to your dinner table, the gravy is really easy to put together. The color will vary depending on how many brown bits are left in the pan after cooking your sausage. Whether it’s light or dark, it will taste amazing either way. Serve these for dinner, and watch your family smile!

    Have made and enjoyed so many of your recipes, I made the sausage and gravy this afternoon.
    I love cube steak, that’s on my menu probably tomorrow.

    These look yummy. The hubby can’t have tomato, so I am always making different meatballs for him. Thank you!

      No tomatoes is hard, but gravy instead of tomato sauce is a pretty nice tradeoff ;) Thanks so much for your comment!

    This looks delicious and super easy! I love making pan gravy, I could seriously just eat that on rice and may or may not lick the pan clean so that none goes to waste…Now I have another reason to prove to my husband that we do, in fact, need to replace the junky cookie scoop thing that recently bit the dust because I actually use it all the time, meatballs!

      Thanks, Buttons! The visual of you licking not the plate but the PAN clean really made my day. So funny. Yes you need a new cookie scoop! I saw a set of 3 sizes that would be even better. I like the bigger one for muffins.

        I always use an ice cream scoop for muffins and cupcakes, it is perfect and they all turn out the same size instead of some gargantuan ones and some that barely make it over the top. I never even knew they made smaller sized ones! I will definitely be keeping my eye out for a good deal on one :)
