Prep Time40 Minutes

Cook Time10 Minutes
Ingredients
500 grams lean ground beef
3 Tbsp breadcrumbs
2 Tbsp milk
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard
1 large egg
1/2 tsp dried thyme
1 large garlic clove, minced
1/2 tsp salt, plus some to taste
freshly ground black pepper, to taste
3 Tbsp butter
1 small onion, diced
1/2 lb. (about 12) small to medium white mushrooms, sliced
3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp paprika
2 cups beef stock
1/4 cup sour cream
splash or 2 Worcestershire sauce (optional)
Directions
- Place beef, breadcrumbs, milk, mustard, egg, thyme, garlic, 1/2 tsp salt and pepper, to taste, in a bowl and gently mix to combine. Preheat oven to 375 F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Moisten your hands with cold water. Roll the meat into 20 to 22, 1 1/2-inch meatballs and place on the baking sheet. Roast meatballs 20 minutes, or until cooked through.
- While meatballs roast, melt butter in a medium pot set over medium, medium-high heat. Add onions and mushrooms and cook until tender, about 5 minutes. Mix in the flour and paprika and cook 1 minute more. While stirring, slowly mix in the stock. Bring to a simmer, and simmer 2 to 3 minutes.
- Whisk sour cream and Worcestershire sauce, if using, into the sauce, season with salt and pepper, and then lower heat to medium-low. When meatballs are cooked, drain any fat from them and then add to the sauce. Partially cover the pot and let the meatballs soak up the flavour of the sauce for 10 minutes, and then serve.
