Instructions

1. In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix until just combined and form into 1-inch meatballs.

2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides until fully cooked. Transfer meatballs to a plate.

3. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add sliced onions and mushrooms. Sauté until softened and golden brown.

4. Sprinkle flour over the mixture, stir well to coat, then gradually pour in the beef broth while whisking to prevent lumps. Simmer until the sauce thickens.

5. Reduce heat and stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce until smooth.

6. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 5–10 minutes, allowing flavors to meld and the meatballs to reheat fully.

7. Serve hot over noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes. Garnish with parsley if desired.

Notes

To prevent curdling, make sure the sour cream is at room temperature and stir it in off heat.

You can use a mix of ground pork and beef for extra juicy meatballs.
