Ingredients
  

For the Meatballs
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 piece egg
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
For the Mushroom Gravy
  • 2 cups sliced mushrooms
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, milk, egg, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined—don’t overmix, or they might get tough! Shape the mixture into meatballs, about the size of golf balls.
Cooking the Meatballs
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil. Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring they have enough space around them. Brown them on all sides for about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside.
Preparing the Gravy
  1. In the same skillet, toss in the sliced mushrooms. Sauté for about 5 minutes until they’re golden and tender.
  2. Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir for a minute. Gradually pour in the beef broth while stirring to avoid lumps. Add in the Worcestershire sauce and heavy cream, and bring to a low simmer. Let this bubble gently until it thickens, about 3-5 minutes.
Combining and Cooking
  1. Gently add the browned meatballs back into the skillet with the gravy. Let them simmer together on low for about 10 minutes.

Notes

Don’t skimp on the searing of the meatballs for a great flavor. You can make extra gravy for those who want more sauce. Substitutions like ground turkey or chicken can be used.
