Ingredients
Scale
- For the Salisbury Meatballs:
- 1 lb ground beef or turkey
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 cups beef or vegetable broth
- 1 tbsp cornstarch dissolved in water (optional, for thickening)
- For the Creamy Mashed Potatoes:
- 4 large potatoes (Yukon Gold or Russet)
- 4 tbsp butter
- 1/2 cup milk or heavy cream
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh chives or parsley for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, minced garlic, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides for about 5-7 minutes, or bake in the oven for 20 minutes for healthier option.
- Pour beef or vegetable broth into the skillet or baking dish with meatballs. Bring to a simmer. Stir in dissolved cornstarch if desired, and cook until the gravy thickens, about 5 minutes. Simmer meatballs in gravy for 10 more minutes.
- Peel and cut potatoes into chunks. Cook in salted boiling water until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain well.
- Return potatoes to the pot. Add butter, milk or cream, salt, and pepper. Mash until smooth and creamy. Garnish with chopped herbs if desired.
Notes
- For extra flavor, stir in fresh herbs like parsley or chives in the mashed potatoes.
- You can prepare the meatballs in advance and refrigerate before baking or simmering.
- Use lean ground turkey or chicken for a healthier variation.
