Equipment

  • 1 large mixing bowl
  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 large skillet
  • 1 wooden spoon or spatula
  • 1 measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 saucepan

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 piece egg
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 medium onion chopped
  • 8 ounces mushrooms sliced
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • 8 ounces egg noodles or cooked rice for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, Parmesan cheese, egg, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and dried Italian herbs. Mix until just combined.
  • Form the mixture into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter) and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and browned on the outside.
  • While the meatballs are baking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the chopped onion and sliced mushrooms to the skillet, sautéing until softened and the onions are translucent (about 5-7 minutes).
  • Stir in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a simmer and cook for an additional 5 minutes.
  • Lower the heat and stir in the sour cream and Dijon mustard. Mix well until heated through. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Once the meatballs are done, gently add them to the sauce, stirring to coat.
  • Serve the meatball stroganoff over egg noodles or rice, garnished with fresh parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, you can sprinkle some paprika over the sauce before serving.
Feel free to use ground turkey or chicken as a lighter alternative for the meatballs.
You can also add vegetables like peas or spinach into the sauce for added nutrition.
