Method
Caramelize the onions in a skillet over medium heat until deep brown, about 20 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The onions are deep brown and softened. Stir regularly so they brown evenly without scorching.
While the onions cook, mix the ground beef with minced garlic, cooked rice, beef broth, salt, and pepper in a bowl.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The beef mixture is evenly combined. Mix only until combined to keep the meatballs tender.
Form the mixture into small meatballs and set aside.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The meatballs hold their shape. Keep them similar in size so they cook evenly.
When the onions are ready, add the cooked rice to the skillet and stir to combine with the caramelized onions.
Add the meatballs to the skillet, cover, and cook until the meatballs are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The meatballs are cooked through. Check one in the center before serving.
Sprinkle shredded cheese over the top, cover again, and let the cheese melt, about 3 minutes.
Kitchen notes · Added by ReelsMeals: The cheese has melted over the meatballs.
Garnish with chopped fresh herbs (thyme and parsley) before serving.
Serve hot over a bed of cooked rice, optionally with a side of crusty bread or a green salad.
