How To Make meatballs in creamy mushroom sauce

  • 1
    In a large bowl, combine all the meatball ingredients.

    Mix until blended, cover the mixture with plastic wrap, making sure to touch the surface to prevent it from drying out, and chill for 2 hours.
  • 3
    Put half the meatballs in the sauce and gently cover them with the sauce before adding the remaining meatballs; spoon the sauce over.
  • 4
    Form meat into 2-inch balls and place them on the prepared baking sheet.

    Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 40 minutes, flipping them over halfway through cooking.

    In a large pot, add butter and when it sizzles, add mushrooms and stir to coat; season with salt and pepper.
  • 8
    Cover and cook for 5 minutes.
