Ingredients
1 1/2 tsp regular butter  
1 1/2 tsp olive oil  
      1 large uncooked onion(s), minced  
1 pound(s) uncooked lean ground beef  
      1 large egg(s), beaten  
1 Tbsp fresh parsley, finely minced (or 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning)  
3/4 tsp table salt  
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes  
1/4 cup(s) canned beef broth, or chicken broth  
1/4 cup(s) white wine  
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt butter and oil over medium heat. Add onions; cook, stirring occasionally, until they start to caramelize, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove onions to a large mixing bowl and add beef, egg, parsley (or Italian seasoning), salt and red pepper flakes; mix well to combine. With damp hands, roll forty-eight 1/2-inch meatballs.

Place same skillet over medium-low heat. Add meatballs, broth and wine; simmer until cooked through, gently turning meatballs once during cooking, about 20 minutes. Yields 4 meatballs per serving.
