Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon oil (for browning)
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 8 oz mushrooms (cremini or white), sliced
  • 1 small onion, thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Mix until just combined.
  2. Form into meatballs about 1½ inches in size.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides, then transfer them to a plate. They do not need to be fully cooked yet.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms, sautéing until browned and softened, about 8–10 minutes.
  5. Add garlic and cook for 30 seconds more.
  6. Sprinkle flour over the mushroom-onion mixture. Stir well and cook for 1–2 minutes to remove raw flour taste.
  7. Gradually whisk in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Stir until the gravy is smooth and begins to simmer.
  8. Return the meatballs to the skillet, reduce heat, and simmer gently for 15–20 minutes, or until meatballs are fully cooked and gravy has thickened.
  9. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot.

Notes

 

  • Add a splash of cream to the gravy for richness.
  • Use ground turkey for a lighter version.
  • Freeze cooked meatballs and gravy for meal prep.
  • Bake meatballs at 400°F for 15–20 minutes as an alternative to browning.
