Ingredients
Scale
- 450g ground beef or equal parts beef and pork
- 60g breadcrumbs
- 25g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 large egg
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 2 cups (approximately 150g) mushrooms, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 240ml beef or vegetable broth
- 240ml sour cream or Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish
- Egg noodles or cooked rice, for serving
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground meat, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, egg, minced garlic, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
- Roll the mixture into meatballs approximately 2.5–4cm in diameter. Heat a skillet over medium heat and sear meatballs until browned on all sides. Transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter. Add chopped onion and sliced mushrooms and cook until softened, about 5–7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and sauté for one more minute.
- Add broth to the skillet, stirring to release browned bits. Bring to a gentle simmer.
- Return the seared meatballs to the pan. Cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Reduce heat to low. Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard, mixing gently to combine. Heat through without bringing to a boil. Adjust seasoning to taste.
- Sprinkle with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately over cooked egg noodles or rice if desired.
Notes
Make sure not to overmix the meatball ingredients; this keeps the meatballs tender. Searing the meatballs adds flavor. You can substitute ground turkey or use a plant-based meat for a lighter option.
