These French style meatballs are great served over egg noodles. This recipe consists of beef meatballs with a beef-onion gravy. The meatballs are a combination of eggs, wine, garlic salt, and breadcrumbs. The meatballs are fried in shortening in the pan until browned and then simmered in the gravy until fully cooked. The gravy gets a lot of its flavor from beef onion soup mix and Herb de Provence seasoning. I like to serve these meatballs with biscuits. Enjoy.
