Ingredients
  

For the meatballs:

  • 1.5 lbs Lean ground beef
  • 3 Tbs Breadcrumbs
  • ½ Onion chopped
  • 2 tsp Garlic powder
  • 2 tsp Salt
  • 1 tsp Pepper

For the sauce:

  • 2 Tbs worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ cup stock chicken or meat stock is best
  • 1 tsp mustard
  • 2 sprigs thyme leaves only
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 2 handfuls of fresh mushrooms sliced with the stems
  • 1 tsp olive oil

To finish:

  • 1 Tbs cornstarch mixed with 1 Tbs water
  • Parsley to garnish
  • Mashed potatoes to serve

My easy mashed potatoes

  • 5 potatoes
  • salt
  • pepper
  • garlic powder
  • drizzle of dairy free creamer OR a knob of vegan butter

Instructions
 

Make it:

  • Add ground beef to a large bowl and add breadcrumbs, onion, and spices. Mix to combine well and shape into small meatballs.
  • Place in the bottom of the slow cooker.
  • Whisk together stock with worcestershire sauce and mustard and pour over the meatballs.
  • Add herbs and sliced mushrooms. I like to sprinkle the mushrooms on top where they gently steam and retain their shape- they look very pretty when served like this.
  • Drizzle over olive oil.
  • Cover and cook on low 4 hours.
  • In a small bowl whisk together cornstarch with water and drizzle around the meatballs(not on top of them).
  • Cover, and cook another 20 minutes.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of parsley, and enjoy!

Mashed Potatoes

  • When the meatballs are almost done cooking, prepare these simple mashed potatoes.
    (peel potatoes or leave the skins on for a more rustic dish)
    Add potatoes to a pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil, lower the heat, and cook until fork tender.
    drain and mash potatoes.
    season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder(taste as you go), and add a healthy drizzle of dairy free creamer and/or a knob of vegan butter.
    Then, and heres the trick: "whip" the potatoes bu mixing them quickly in one direction with a regular spoon.
