Instructions
Make the Meatballs:
In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, finely chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix until everything is evenly incorporated. Roll the mixture into small meatballs, making them uniform in size for even cooking.
Brown the Meatballs:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook, turning occasionally, until they’re browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set them aside.
Sauté the Mushrooms:
In the same pan, add the sliced mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes, stirring occasionally, until they soften and release their juices.
Make the Sauce:
Sprinkle the flour over the mushrooms and stir to coat evenly. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking as you go to prevent lumps. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then stir in the sour cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce. Continue stirring until the sauce becomes smooth and creamy.
Simmer Everything Together:
Return the browned meatballs to the skillet. Reduce the heat to low and let everything simmer together for about 10 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to thicken slightly.
Serve:
Spoon the creamy meatball stroganoff over egg noodles, rice, or even mashed potatoes for a hearty, satisfying meal.
This meatball stroganoff is rich, flavorful, and incredibly easy to make—perfect for cozy weeknight dinners or when you want comfort food with a homemade touch.
