Start by combining the ground meat, bread crumbs, and eggs in a large mixing bowl. Use your hands or a spoon to mix until all the ingredients are well incorporated. Be careful not to overwork the mixture, as this can make the meatballs tough.

Once the mixture is ready, it's time to shape the meatballs. Use a spoon or a small ice cream scoop to portion out the mixture. Roll each portion between your hands to form a ball, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter. This size ensures even cooking.

You can cook the meatballs in a variety of ways depending on your preference:

Pan-Frying: Heat a tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in a single layer, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 7-10 minutes, turning occasionally, until all sides are browned and the meatballs are cooked through.

Baking: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they reach an internal temperature of 160°F (71°C).

Air Frying: For a healthier option, preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C) and cook the meatballs for 12-15 minutes, shaking the basket halfway through for even cooking.

While the meatballs are cooking, you can prepare the rice. Here's a simple method:

Brown Rice: For a healthier option, use brown rice instead. Combine 1 cup of brown rice with 2.5 cups of water. Bring to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 40-45 minutes.

Prepare the gravy according to package directions in a saucepan. Remove from heat when gravy has thickened.

To serve, place a generous scoop of rice on each plate, top with a few meatballs, and spoon the gravy over the top. You can garnish with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color and freshness if desired.
