# Instructions:

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, egg, Parmesan, garlic, onion, parsley, salt, black pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder. Mix until just combined. Roll into meatballs.
02 -
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides without fully cooking them. Set aside.
03 -
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add the mushrooms and sauté for 5-7 minutes until browned and softened. Sprinkle flour over the mushrooms and stir well for 1-2 minutes. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to avoid lumps. Add Worcestershire sauce and thyme. Simmer for 5-7 minutes until thickened. Stir in heavy cream and season with salt and pepper to taste.

Return the meatballs to the skillet with the mushroom gravy, and simmer for 10 minutes until cooked through.

Boil diced potatoes in salted water for about 15 minutes until fork-tender. Drain and mash with butter and milk until creamy. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Spoon mashed potatoes onto a plate or bowl. Top with meatballs and generous mushroom gravy. Garnish with fresh parsley.
