Ingredients
- For the Meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
- For the Mushroom Gravy:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 8 ounces mushrooms, sliced
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined — do not overmix.
- Form into 16–18 meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides (about 5 minutes total). Remove from skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and add mushrooms. Cook for 5–6 minutes until tender and lightly browned.
- Add minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well to coat.
- Slowly pour in beef broth while whisking constantly to avoid lumps. Stir in Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Simmer for 2–3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return meatballs to the skillet, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and gravy has thickened.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste, then garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a richer gravy, stir in 1/4 cup heavy cream at the end of cooking.
- Use a mix of beef and pork for extra tenderness and flavor.
- Serve over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice for a complete meal.
- Leftovers keep well refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheat beautifully.
