Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 tsp mustard powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 0.5 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (for gravy)
  • salt and pepper, to taste

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Mixing bowl
  • Large skillet
  • Spatula or wooden spoon
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, onion, garlic, Worcestershire sauce, mustard powder, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined.
  3. Shape mixture into 1-inch meatballs and place on the prepared baking sheet.
  4. Bake for 20 minutes, or until meatballs are cooked through and browned.
  5. While the meatballs bake, prepare the gravy. Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and cook until browned and tender.
  6. Sprinkle flour over mushrooms and stir to coat. Slowly add beef broth, stirring constantly to prevent lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Simmer until gravy thickens, about 5–7 minutes.
  7. Add baked meatballs to the skillet and coat them in the mushroom gravy. Simmer for 5 minutes to blend flavors.
  8. Serve hot with mashed potatoes or over egg noodles.

Notes

For extra flavor, add a splash of red to the gravy before simmering. These meatballs can be made ahead and reheated in the gravy for even deeper flavor. Serve with mashed potatoes, rice, or buttered egg noodles.
