Gourmet meatballs simmered in a rich, creamy mushroom sauce, combining savory beef, aromatic herbs, and earthy mushrooms for a comforting and elegant meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and egg. Mix until well combined.
  2. Shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced mushrooms and diced onion, cooking until softened.
  5. Sprinkle flour over the vegetables and stir to combine.
  6. Gradually add beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens.
  7. Return meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes until meatballs are cooked through.
  8. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper as needed. Serve hot.

Notes

  • Use cremini or shiitake mushrooms for texture variety.
  • Add fresh thyme or rosemary to the gravy for aroma.
  • Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days in an airtight container.
  • Reheat gently with a splash of beef broth if sauce thickens too much.
  • To make gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and broth.
  • Add peas or carrots to the gravy for extra nutrition.
  • For spicier sauce, add cayenne pepper or hot sauce.
