Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 2 cups mushrooms, sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork.
  2. Add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, oregano, and basil to the meat mixture.
  3. Using your hands, gently mix all the ingredients together until just combined. Avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
  4. Let the mixture rest for about 10 minutes to allow the breadcrumbs to absorb moisture.
  5. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Shape the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter.
  6. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, spaced apart for even cooking.
  7. Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until browned and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 160°F/70°C).
  8. While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  9. Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent.
  10. Add the sliced mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until golden brown and moisture is released.
  11. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
  12. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce, stirring to combine. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 5 minutes.
  13. Reduce heat to low and stir in the heavy cream. Simmer for another 5-10 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Adjust consistency with more beef broth if needed.
  14. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  15. Once the meatballs are done baking, let them rest for a few minutes.
  16. Transfer the meatballs to the skillet with the mushroom sauce and gently toss to coat.
  17. Let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes to absorb the flavors.

Notes

  • For added flavor, consider using a mix of different mushrooms.
  • You can serve these meatballs over pasta, rice, or with crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
