🥘Ingredients

For the Meatballs

1 lb ground beef
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 large egg
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper
1 tbsp olive oil

For the Sauce

1 tbsp butter
1 cup sliced mushrooms
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

For Serving

8 oz egg noodles or cooked rice
Fresh parsley for garnish

👨‍🍳Directions

1In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
2Mix gently until just combined, then form into 1-inch meatballs.
3Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then add meatballs in a single layer.
4Cook for 5 to 7 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through (internal temperature of 160°F).
5Transfer meatballs to a plate and set aside.
6In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat.
7Add sliced mushrooms and chopped onion, and cook for 4 to 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms are golden and onions are translucent.
8Sprinkle flour over the mixture and stir constantly for 1 minute to cook out the raw flour taste.
9Gradually pour in beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps.
10Add Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard, then bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
11Cook for 3 to 4 minutes, stirring often, until the sauce thickens enough to coat the back of a spoon.
12Reduce heat to low and stir in sour cream and heavy cream until fully incorporated and smooth.
13Season with salt and pepper to taste.
14Return the meatballs to the skillet, spooning sauce over them.
15Simmer for 5 minutes, allowing the meatballs to heat through and the flavors to meld.
16While the sauce simmers, cook egg noodles according to package directions in salted boiling water until al dente, about 6 to 8 minutes.
Drain well.
17Serve the stroganoff and meatballs over the noodles, garnished with fresh parsley.
