<RecipeText>Sauté onion in 2 tablespoons butter.  In bowl combine egg, milk, crumbs and seasonings.  Add meat and sautéed onions;  mix until well blended.  Shape into 1 ¼- inch balls.  Place in two lightly buttered 9 x 13-inch baking pans.  Bake in a 350 oven until lightly browned, 25 to 30 minutes.  Transfer meat balls to ovenproof serving dish or casserole.  Scrape fat drippings from baking pans into  saucepan.  Add 1 tablespoon butter or margarine if necessary.  Stir in flour, 2 teaspoons sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and pepper.  Gradually add water and half and half;  stir over low heat until mixture comes to a boil;  boil and stir 1 minute.  Pour gravy over meatballs. Bake, uncovered, in a preheated 325 oven 20 to 25 minutes.  Garnish with parsley.

6 to 8 servings

Tip:  If made ahead and refrigerated, allow 15 to 20 minutes extra baking time.
