Categories: Meals

Ingredients

  • 1 1/2 lbs. Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks
  • Kosher salt
  • 12 oz. ground beef chuck
  • 12 oz. sweet Italian sausage meat
  • 1/. cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten
  • 2 cups chicken broth
  • Black pepper
  • 6 tbsp. unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 12 oz. sliced mixed mushrooms
  • 1 tbsp. flour
  • 1 cup dry Marsala wine
  • 1 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Directions

  1. Put the potatoes in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch; season with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer; cook until tender, 20 minutes. Drain and return to the saucepan.

  2. Meanwhile, preheat the broiler. Combine the beef, sausage, breadcrumbs, egg, 1/2 cup chicken broth, salt and pepper; mix with your hands until combined. Form into 12 meatballs and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until browned, about 7 minutes.

  3. Meanwhile, melt 1 tbsp. butter in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add the mushrooms, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring, until the mushrooms are softened, about 8 minutes. Sprinkle in the flour and stir to coat. Stir in the wine and bring to a boil. Add 1 cup chicken broth and return to a boil, then reduce the heat to medium high and add the meatballs. Simmer, stirring occasionally, while you mash the potatoes.

  4. Add the remaining 5 tbsp. butter and 1/2 cup chicken broth to the potatoes and mash. Season with salt and pepper. Stir the parsley into the meatball mixture. Serve with the potatoes.
