7. Make the French Onion Sauce: Once the onions are caramelized, sprinkle flour over them and cook for an additional 2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually pour in beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper, then simmer the sauce for 5-10 minutes until it thickens slightly.

9. Combine and Serve: Add the cooked meatballs to the skillet with the French onion sauce, tossing gently to coat the meatballs evenly. Allow them to simmer in the sauce for an additional 10 minutes to absorb the flavors and heat all the way through. Top with the cheese, cover and allow the cheese to melt. You can also place the pan under the broiler to allow the cheese to get brown and bubbly. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving and Enjoy!
