Category: Meatballs
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 lb mini meatballs*
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1/2 cup sliced onion
1 cup merlot wine
1/2 cup water
2 tbs brown sugar
1/2 cup + 2 tbs heavy cream
1 tbs butter
Meatballs:
8 oz very lean ground beef
2 tbs finely chopped onion
1/4 cup dry unseasoned bread crumbs
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp brown gravy mix
1 egg

Cooked egg noodles

*Prepared frozen meatballs may be substituted for homemade meatballs.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place a rack on a shallow baking sheet.

Mix all meatball ingredients in a medium bowl. Shape into 1-inch balls and place on rack on prepared baking sheet. Bake for 15-20 min or until lightly brown. Remove from oven; set aside.

In a pot, saute 1/2 cup onions and mushrooms with melted butter until onion is beginning to get soft.

Add the meatballs to the pot. Add the merlot, water and the 2 tbs of cream. Cover and simmer about 25 minutes until the liquid has reduced by half. Add the 1/2 cup of cream (you may have to add about 1/4 cup water) and stir well cooking until the sauce is heated through and is your desired consistency.

Serve over noodles.

Makes 4 servings.

NOTE: These also make a great appetizer.
