Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 egg
- 1/3 cup tomato sauce
- 1/2 onion, diced
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 can (10.5 oz) beefy mushroom soup
Instructions:
-
Prepare Meatballs:
- In a mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, egg, bread crumbs, and 1/4 cup of tomato sauce. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
-
-
Brown Meatballs:
- Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Coat each meatball with flour, shaking off any excess.
- Carefully place the meatballs in the skillet and brown them on all sides, working in batches if necessary. This should take about 5-7 minutes per batch. Once browned, remove the meatballs from the skillet and set them aside.
-
Saute Onions:
- In the same skillet, add the diced onions and saute them until they become translucent and tender, about 3-4 minutes.
-
Simmer with Soup:
- Pour the beefy mushroom soup into the skillet with the sauteed onions. Stir to combine.
- Gently add the browned meatballs back into the skillet, along with the remaining tomato sauce. Stir to coat the meatballs evenly in the sauce.
-
Simmer and Serve:
- Reduce the heat to low and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for an additional 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
- If the sauce seems too thick, you can add a small amount of milk to achieve your desired consistency.
- Taste the sauce and season with salt and pepper to your liking.
- Serve the soupy mushroom meatballs hot over cooked rice or noodles, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
Tips:
- For a leaner option, you can use ground turkey or chicken instead of beef.
- Feel free to customize the recipe by adding your favorite herbs and spices to the meatball mixture.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or frozen for longer-term storage.
- Experiment with different types of mushroom soup for a unique flavor twist.
