Instructions
 

  • Cooking Instructions:
  • Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs or almond flour, chopped onion, garlic powder, egg, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined, then form the mixture into meatballs of your desired size.
  • Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and bake for 30 minutes or until they're cooked through and golden brown on the outside.
  • While the meatballs are baking, prepare the mushroom sauce. In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sliced mushrooms and diced onions, sautéing until they're soft and fragrant, approximately 5-7 minutes.
  • Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for an additional minute, being careful not to let it burn. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom mixture to create a roux, stirring well to combine.
  • Gradually add beef stock to the skillet, stirring constantly to avoid lumps. If desired, pour in white wine and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.
  • Finally, stir in cream or half and half, thyme, salt, and pepper. Allow the sauce to simmer gently until it thickens, stirring frequently to prevent sticking. Brown butter enriches the sauce, adding a nutty flavor and elevating the overall dish.
  • Once the meatballs are done baking, transfer them to the mushroom sauce, stirring gently to coat. Cook for an additional 5 minutes to heat through.
  • Serve the meatballs and sauce over cooked noodles, polenta, or mashed potatoes, and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme for added flavor and presentation.
  • Extra Tips:
  • When making Beef Meatballs with Creamy Mushroom Sauce, don't hesitate to customize the dish based on your preferences. You can substitute turkey or chicken for the beef, and you can experiment with different types of mushrooms for varying flavors.
  • Additionally, if you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of flour in the roux or let the sauce simmer longer. Always taste and adjust the seasoning as needed, and consider adding a splash of lemon juice for a fresh, bright finish!
