Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Large pot
  • Potato masher
  • Mixing Bowl

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef, 80/20
  • 1/3 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce divided, 1 for meatballs 1 for gravy
  • 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tbsp butter for gravy
  • 1 cup cremini mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 small onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced for gravy
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1.5 cups beef broth
  • 1 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1.5 lbs Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and cubed
  • 3 tbsp butter for mashed potatoes
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream or whole milk, warmed
  • 3 cloves garlic, roasted or sautéed for mashed potatoes
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley or chives, chopped
  • salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions
 

  • Boil the cubed potatoes in salted water for 15 to 18 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and set aside.
  • Mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, 1 tsp Worcestershire, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Roll into 1.5-inch meatballs.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear meatballs 2 to 3 minutes per side until browned. Remove and set aside.
  • Melt butter in the same skillet. Add onion and mushrooms, cook 4 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 30 seconds more.
  • Sprinkle flour over vegetables and stir. Slowly pour in beef broth while stirring, then add remaining Worcestershire and Dijon mustard. Simmer 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
  • Return meatballs to the skillet. Cover and simmer on low for 8 to 10 minutes until cooked through.
  • Mash drained potatoes with butter, warm cream, sautéed garlic, fresh herbs, and salt until smooth and creamy.
  • Serve meatballs and gravy over a generous scoop of garlic herb mashed potatoes.

Notes

  • Use 80/20 ground beef for juicy, flavorful meatballs - lean beef dries out too fast.
  • Warm your cream before adding to the potatoes to keep the mash light and fluffy.
  • If the gravy thickens too much, add a splash of broth to loosen it.
  • Doubles easily for feeding a larger group.
