  • Total Time: 50 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lbs ground beef
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon flour
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • For the mashed potatoes:
  • 2 lbs potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup butter
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the mashed potatoes: Boil potatoes and garlic in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and mash with milk, butter, sour cream, chives, parsley, salt, and pepper. Set aside and keep warm.
  2. For the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, onion, Worcestershire sauce, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in batches until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, add butter and sliced mushrooms. Cook until mushrooms are golden and tender, about 5 minutes. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir for 1 minute.
  5. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-4 minutes.
  6. Return meatballs to the skillet with the mushroom gravy. Simmer for 10-12 minutes, until meatballs are cooked through and sauce has thickened.
  7. Serve meatballs and gravy over the prepared mashed potatoes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For best flavor, use a mix of ground beef and pork. You can also add a splash of heavy cream to the gravy for extra richness.
