My Famous Big Italian Meatballs #recipe

This is my famous Italian meatballs that I make for Christmas Eve dinner when I cook Italian food for the family. The men usually like to eat them on a nice big crusty bun with cheese, and the woman pair it with my vegetarian lasagna. I always make it a couple weeks prior, and freeze them until the morning of the event. I usually just pop them into the pot of hot spaghetti sauce to heat about an hour prior to when you want to eat. 

1/3 cup shallots finely chopped 

1 tbs. garlic, minced 

3 tbs. finely chopped fresh parsley 

1 cup Italian bread crumbs 

1/2 cup cold water 

2 tbs olive oil 

2 tsp. salt 

1/4 tbs. pepper 

1/4 tbs. nutmeg 

1 egg 

2 lbs beef 

Flour

 
Method:

Easy Beef Stroganoff #recipe #onepotmeal

Prep. Time 15 mins
Cooking Time 30 - 35 mins

Yields 4 to 6 servings

This has to be one of my favorite old recipes that I've been making for years. It's been a while since I've made it, but I will be making this for Easter dinner this year. Not really the traditional ham or turkey, but an easy dish that can be prepped before hand. If you're planning on making this for company, prepare and make everything up until adding the pasta. You'd add the pasta close to the time you'd want to service it, to prevent the noodles from falling apart. If you're not fond of noodles, serve it over rice.

1 lb (450 g) boneless sirloin beef, cut into strips
2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
4 cups (1 L) sliced mushrooms
1 onion, chopped
1 tbsp (15 mL) paprika
3 tbsp (45 mL) all-purpose flour
4 cups (1 L) milk
1 cup (250 mL) beef stock
2 tbsp (30 mL) Dijon mustard
8 oz (250 g) curly broad egg noodles
2 cups (500 mL) frozen peas or mixed vegetables, thawed
1 cup (250 mL) sour cream (light or regular)
Salt and pepper, to taste
Chopped fresh dill or parsley, to taste
