Meatballs in Mushroom Sauce
I’m a little late to the party, I know, but Happy New Year, everyone!
We had a wonderful holiday and spent Christmas and New Years Eve with tons of family and friends. We had a, get this, Christmas BBQ! Which is crazy with our Dutch winters, but it was seven kinds of awesome. Why didn’t I think of it sooner?!
I also did what few other bloggers do during December; I took some time off from blogging and spent it with my son. We enjoyed every single minute.
After all the December food, and now that school has started, I’m up for fast, yet incredibly tasty meals. This is an oldy, but off the charts delicious and it’s such a simple weeknight dinner.
Pairs really well with basic sides such as mashed potatoes and carrots (links below the recipe). You whip this up in roughly 20 minutes, so it won’t keep you slaving over a hot stove too long.
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef (mine was 50 pork/50 beef)
Seasoning + egg + bread crumbs (recipe is in the printable)
10 oz mushrooms
1 small onion
1 garlic clove
1 cup beef broth
2 tsp yellow mustard
1/4 to 1/2 tsp ground black pepper
1 tbsp worcestershiresauce
few drops tabasco
1 tbsp cornstarch (mixed with 3 tbsp beef broth)
1 tbsp butter
flat-leaf parsley
Directions:
Using the same seasoning as I use in my Dutch meatballs—it’s my go-to seasoning. Mix it up.
Use a medium size ice scoop to create even-sized meatballs. I ended up with 12 of them.
Mince the onion and chop the garlic.
Shrooms. You either love them or hate them. I’m in the love camp! No, you cannot replace the mushrooms in mushroom sauce, sorry.
I clean then with a towel, unless they’re really dirty, then I wash ‘em up. Remove the stem and slice them.
Chop the flat-leaf parsley, or use a tbsp dried parsley.
Heat the butter and brown the meatballs all around.
I usually keep browning them until they’re almost done. Transfer them to a plate and keep them warm.
Sautee the onion for a minute before adding the mushrooms and garlic. Cook them for 3 to 4 minutes.
Add a few drops tabasco, the worcestershire sauce, mustard, black pepper to taste and the minced parsley. Give it a minute.
Pour in the beef broth.
Add your meatballs, bring it to a boil, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Mix the cornstarch with 3 tbsp beef broth and pour it into the pan.
Let it simmer for a few more minutes and taste for seasoning. I added a bit of extra salt and pepper.
There it is… my first recipe for 2013! And a tasty one at that.

Happy new year, Kay! The meatballs look delicious.
This would be great served over wide noodles! My hubby would LOVE this, me not so much I’m not a big fan of mushrooms, meatballs yes, noodles yes.
Oh, noodles is a great idea. Didn’t think of that yet!
It sounds like you had a great holiday! Welcome back!
Happy new year! This is definitely a perfect meal to start the year. I love how you combine meatballs and mushroom – both are my two favorite things and never get tired of them. Yum!
¡Feliz año nuevo Kay!
UGH. I’m dying over this. Feed me?
Bev, honey… one of these days you gotta stop dying on me :)
Happy New Year, Kay! This sounds delish! I think I’d plop it right on top of some mashed potatoes for a nice, warm comfort-food meal.
Looks lovely! I’m a big fan of meatballs, and these are next on my list.
I made this dish last night and it was just delicious! I paired it with Simple Oven Baked Carrots and it all looked and tasted wonderful. This was the first time I had ever made meatballs before so thank you for such a good recipe. I had my iPad propped up on the kitchen bench so I could read your cheerful text and see your great photos as I cooked.
That was one of the main reasons for me to buy an iPad, so I could bring it into the kitchen with me!
I am going to try this being that I love the duo and new is cool.
Kay, I had to tell you how much we all enjoyed this one!! I had your post opened on the computer ad my son saw it and asked me to make it…such a hit when both kids eat every bite and there are NO leftovers!!
Love your site and Trabuco Canyon loves you!!

This was delicious. My family loved it. Every last bit was gone. The meatballs were amazing. My 10 yo son said they were the best meatballs he had ever had!
Hi from Mexico City, I’ve had many Dutch friends over the years and have always enjoyed sharing food with them – at their homes as I’m not much of a cook. Decided to check out your recipes based solely on the good food I was always served – happy I did! I loved your meatballs! Thanks! Nick
Delicious, added kale instead of fresh parsley!!
I jut ate it! Delicious, thank you.
