Hearty Gravy: While meatballs are cooking, saute chopped onions and butter or margarine in small saucepan on medium-high heat. Remove from heat and add soup, milk, and brown gravy mix. Return to heat and mix well with whisk until simmering. Simmer 5 to 10 minutes to thicken. Serve meatballs over hot wide egg noodles or rice and top with gravy.
