Ingredients

1 1/2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes, cut into 1-inch chunks

Kosher salt

12 ounces ground beef chuck

12 ounces sweet Italian sausage meat

1/3 cup breadcrumbs

1 large egg, lightly beaten

2 cups low-sodium chicken broth

Freshly ground pepper

6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces

12 ounces sliced mixed mushrooms

1 tablespoon all-purpose 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, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a medium bowl; mix with your hands until combined. Form into 12 meatballs (about 2 inches) and arrange on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil until browned, about 7 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over high heat. Add the mushrooms, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of 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 tablespoons 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.

This is one of our family favorites. It’s such a hit and I don’t really deviate from the original recipe except to make more sauce. More mushrooms, wine and broth. We had neighbors over last night and they were so blown away by the meal. It’s a really simple meal but very filling. I serve 3 meatballs over the potatoes and it’s plenty.
