Ingredients
  

Meatballs
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
Creamy Mushroom Sauce
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh mushrooms sliced
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Mixing Bowl

Method
 

  1. Place ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a mixing bowl. Stir gently until combined.
  2. Form the mixture into small meatballs about one inch wide.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 6 to 8 minutes, turning until browned on all sides.
  4. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
  5. Add butter and sliced mushrooms to the same pan and cook for about 5 minutes until softened.
  6. Pour in chicken broth and stir to lift any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  7. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese. Simmer for 4 to 6 minutes until the sauce thickens.
  8. Return the meatballs to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them. Simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors blend together.
  9. Sprinkle chopped parsley on top and serve warm over pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes

These creamy mushroom meatballs pair well with pasta, rice, or mashed potatoes. For extra flavor, add a small spoon of Dijon mustard or a handful of spinach to the sauce.
