Ingredients:

For the meatballs:

• 1 lb ground beef
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/4 cup grated onion
• 1 egg
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1 tsp Dijon mustard
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp black pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried parsley
• 1/4 tsp paprika
• 2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)

For the mushroom gravy:

• 2 tbsp butter
• 8 oz mushrooms, sliced
• 1 small onion, diced
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tbsp flour
• 2 cups beef broth
• 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
• 1/2 tsp Dijon mustard
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup heavy cream (optional, for extra richness)
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, grated onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper, parsley, and paprika. Mix well until evenly combined. Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
2. Cook the meatballs: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, cooking for 6-8 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
3. Make the mushroom gravy: In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and onions, cooking until the mushrooms are browned and the onions are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute.
4. Thicken the gravy: Stir in the flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to form a roux. Gradually whisk in the beef broth, ensuring there are no lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Bring the gravy to a simmer, stirring until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. Combine: Add the meatballs back into the skillet, simmering them in the gravy for another 5 minutes to heat through and allow the flavors to meld. If desired, stir in the heavy cream for a richer gravy.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the meatballs and mushroom gravy over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
