Ingredients
Scale
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 large egg
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 1 cup beef or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon cornstarch (optional for thickening)
For the creamy mashed potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes, peeled and cubed
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef or turkey, bread crumbs, Parmesan, egg, chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into evenly sized meatballs. Heat a skillet over medium heat with a little oil and cook the meatballs until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 8-10 minutes.
- In the same skillet, pour in beef or vegetable broth, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard. Bring to a simmer, scraping up browned bits. If desired, dissolve cornstarch in water and add to thicken the sauce. Cook until slightly thickened.
- Serve cooked meatballs with sauce spooned over. Meanwhile, prepare mashed potatoes by boiling peeled and cubed potatoes in salted water until tender, about 15 minutes.
- Drain potatoes and add butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Optionally, stir in sour cream or herbs for extra flavor.
Notes
- Feel free to substitute ground beef with ground turkey or plant-based options for vegetarian version.
- Adding a splash of milk or butter when reheating mashed potatoes keeps them creamy and moist.
- Adjust seasoning in the meat mixture to suit your taste preferences.
