Instructions

In a large bowl, mix ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, egg, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper until well combined. Form into 1-inch meatballs.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides (about 6-8 minutes total). Remove and set aside.
In the same skillet, melt butter and add onions and mushrooms. Sauté for 5-6 minutes until softened and lightly browned.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute to form a roux.
Gradually whisk in beef broth, tomato paste, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until thickened (about 3-4 minutes).
Return meatballs to the skillet, cover, and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through and coated in gravy.
Meanwhile, make mashed potatoes: Boil cubed potatoes in salted water until tender (about 15 minutes). Drain and mash with garlic, butter, and heavy cream until smooth. Stir in fresh herbs and season with salt and pepper.
Serve meatballs over mashed potatoes and spoon mushroom gravy on top.

Notes

Use a mix of beef and pork for extra tender meatballs.
For deeper flavor, add a splash of red wine to the gravy.
Mashed potatoes can be made ahead and reheated with a bit of cream or butter.
Serve with steamed green beans or roasted carrots for a complete meal.
