Comforting meatballs in a rich creamy sauce served over fluffy mashed potatoes, perfect for chilly days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Ground Beef/Pork Mix
  • 2 pounds Yellow Potatoes (such as Yukon Gold)
  • 1 cup Heavy Cream (plus 1/4 cup for potatoes)
  • 1.5 cups Beef Broth
  • 4 tablespoons Unsalted Butter (divided)
  • 2 tablespoons All-Purpose Flour
  • 1 small Yellow Onion, finely diced
  • Salt and Black Pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Peel and dice the potatoes into uniform chunks; place them in a large pot and cover with salted water. Bring to a boil and cook for 15-20 minutes until fork-tender. While the potatoes cook, combine the ground meat, diced onion, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Roll the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and set aside.
  2. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides; they do not need to be cooked through yet. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside, reserving the pan drippings for flavor.
  3. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet, then whisk in the flour to create a roux (a thick paste). Cook for one minute, then slowly whisk in the beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Bring the sauce to a gentle simmer.
  4. Stir the heavy cream into the simmering sauce. Season the sauce generously with salt and pepper, adjusting to your taste. Return the browned meatballs to the sauce, ensuring they are submerged. Cover and simmer for 10 to 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are fully cooked through.
  5. While the meatballs finish, drain the cooked potatoes completely. Mash them thoroughly, incorporating the reserved heavy cream and salt until the desired texture is reached. Serve the creamy meatballs and sauce immediately over a generous mound of hot mashed potatoes.

Notes

Pair with steamed green vegetables or a simple green salad for balance.
