Roll ground meat into meatballs, brown to desired color. Add some beef stock and/or red wine and simmer til done. Pull meatballs and add roux to desired color, thickness and taste. Add meatballs back and serve over rice.

Look up Swedish meat balls recipes for ease and convenience of production. Use egg noodles for the pasta portion of the dish.

None of that sounds remotely like meatball stew.
For meatball stew I would suggest you get some 1/2 & 1/2 pork & beef meatballs, season them then brown them up (in a pan or in the oven). Make your roux to a desired colored, add onions, bell peppers, & garlic. Add in beef stock & meatballs, bring to a boil, then reduce to an all day simmer. About an hour before serving, throw in carrots & potatoes. Serve over medium grain rice.

Meatball ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1 small onion minced fine
1/4 cup unseasoned bread crumbs
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
dash Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder

Vegetables

1/2 cup diced carrots, 1/2 cup green peas, 1 cup diced potatoes, 1 bay leaf, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon sugar, 1/2 Tablespoon butter, minimum water to cook vegetables
1/2 cup julienned onion, 1/2 cup celery small chop

Liquid for gravy

1/2 cup milk, 1 cup beef broth

Mix meatball ingredients in a bowl and form meatballs – should make 15-20 depending on size.

In a separate boiler, cook vegetables (carrots, potatoes, peas) in minimum water with a little salt, a little sugar a bay leaf and a pat of butter until done to the stage you like. I do not fully cook mine because they will cook more later when added to the stew. Remove from heat.

In a sauté pan, with a tablespoon of vegetable oil, brown off meatballs until medium done (still pink in center and rendering liquid). Remove from pan and add 3 Tablespoons of flour and cook to a medium/dark brown roux stage. You may need a little more oil to do this, but don’t add it if it is not needed.

When flour is a good (dark roux) brown, add the onions and celery and continue cooking until the onions are caramelized, then add 1/2 cup milk and cup of beef broth.

Return meatballs and vegetables, with broth to the pan and reduce the liquid until a slightly thick gravy forms, then cover and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove bay leaf before serving.

Serve with butter toasted French bread

I season the ground meat with garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper and green onion tops.

My ground venison (50/50 pork butt) works great, and makes a richer gravy.

Brown, scrape, deglaze with water or stock, repeat about 10 times the more the better for flavor. Add broth or stock to desired level of liquid for gravy. If it is a little thin add some roux to give it body.

I will get skewered for this but in a hurry I will use a sprinkling of brown gravy mix to thicken
