     Yield: 24 Servings

     2 tb Butter; divided
     1 lg Onion; thin sliced
 1 1/2 ts Salt; divided
     1 ts Pepper; divided
     1 ts Fresh rosemary; minced
     3 tb Dry red wine
     2 tb A-P flour
     2 c  Beef stock
     1 lb Ground beef
   1/3 c  Panko bread crumbs
     1 lg Egg; beaten
     2 tb Fresh parsley; minced
     2 cl Garlic; minced
     2 ts Italian seasoning
     1 c  Gruyere cheese; shredded
          French bread baguette
          - slices; toasted (optional)

 Set oven @ 400 F/205 C.

 Fit a 15x10x1" baking sheet with a wire rack; coat with cooking
 spray. Set aside.

 In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 1 tb butter over medium-low
 heat. Add onions; stir to coat. Cook until onions begin to
 caramelize and are very soft, stirring occasionally, 15 to
 20 minutes. Stir in 1/2 ts salt, 1/2 ts pepper, and rosemary. Add
 wine; cook until evaporated, 2 to 3 minutes, stirring constantly.

 Stir in remaining butter; once melted, whisk in flour until lightly
 browned. Slowly whisk in beef stock; bring to a simmer until
 thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from heat; set aside.

 In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, egg, parsley,
 garlic, Italian seasoning, remaining 1 ts salt, and remaining
 1/2 ts pepper. Bake 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer meatballs to skillet
 with cooked onions; stir to combine. Top with shredded Gruyere.

 Preheat broiler. Broil skillet 3 to 4" from heat until cheese is
 melted, 2 to 3 minutes. If desired, serve with toasted baguette
 slices.
