To start, preheat your oven to 375°F. In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, onion, garlic, salt, and pepper. Form the mixture into meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until cooked through.

In a small bowl, whisk together the flour and 1/4 cup of water until smooth. Slowly pour the flour mixture into the skillet, whisking constantly, until the gravy thickens.
Once the meatballs are cooked, add them to the skillet with the red wine gravy. Let the meatballs simmer in the gravy for 5-10 minutes, until they are coated in the sauce and heated through.
