Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sauté 1 medium finely chopped onion for 5 minutes until translucent and fragrant. Let cool slightly.
Step 2: In a large bowl, combine 1 lb ground beef with the cooled onion, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1 large beaten egg, 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce, 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Mix thoroughly until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
Step 3: Shape mixture into 8 equal oval-shaped rissoles, pressing firmly to hold their shape.
Step 4: Heat the skillet over medium-high heat and sear the rissoles for 2-3 minutes per side until browned all over.
Step 5: Transfer the rissoles to a slow cooker, pour 1 cup beef broth over them, cover, and cook on low for 4-5 hours until tender and cooked through.
Step 6: Serve hot with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes or steamed vegetables.
