Cooking Steps
- Peel, then cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Meanwhile, add breadcrumbs, half the Dill-Garlic Spice Blend, 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt and 3 tbsp (6 tbsp) milk to a large bowl. Stir until milk is absorbed, 30 sec.
- Crumble in beef. Season with pepper, then combine again. (TIP: If you prefer a more tender meatball, add an egg to mixture!)
- Roll mixture into 10 equal-sized meatballs (20 meatballs for 4 ppl). Transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 10-12 min.**
- Meanwhile, cut broccoli into bite-sized pieces..
- Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add broccoli and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water. Season with salt and pepper, then stir to combine.
- Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, 5-6 min.
- Remove from heat. Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then toss until butter is melted and broccoli is coated, 1 min.
- Transfer to a plate, then cover to keep warm.
- Reheat the same pan over medium.
- When hot, add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter, then garlic and Gravy Spice Blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec.
- Add 3/4 cup (1 1/4 cups) water, broth concentrate and half the cream. Bring to a boil over high.
- Once boiling, reduce to medium-low and cook, stirring often, until gravy thickens slightly, 2-3 min.
- Season with pepper.
- When meatballs are done, transfer to the pan with gravy. Toss to coat.
- Mash remaining cream, remaining Dill-Garlic Spice Blend and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) butter into potatoes until creamy.
- Season with salt and pepper.
