- 1 pound ground sirloin
- 1 large egg
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 teaspoon italian seasoning by lawry's
- ¼ teaspoon spices caraway seed
- 1 teaspoon spices onion powder
- 12 ounce bacon
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 1 clove garlic raw
- 5 ounce mushrooms
- 1 tablespoon spices paprika
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ¾ cup beef broth
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon spices onion powder
- ¼ teaspoon spices rosemary dried
- 1 tablespoon sour cream
Instructions
- In a bowl, combine the ground sirloin, egg, salt, pepper, italian seasoning, caraway, and onion powder. You can do this with your hands or a spoon.
- On a clean surface, form your meatballs. You should be able to get about 13 meatballs at 1 ½ ounces each.
- Wrap each meatball with a single piece of bacon and secure them with a toothpick. Then, place them in a crock pot. It’s okay if one or two rest on top. Cook the meatballs on high for 4 hours.
- To make the sauce, melt the butter in a large skillet on low heat. Then, mince and stir in the garlic, allowing it to heat up for about 30 seconds.
- Slice the mushrooms into thin slices. Cook them in the butter, with the lid on, on medium-low heat for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms are soft.
- Sprinkle the paprika over the mushrooms and stir the ingredients until the mushrooms are completely coated in the paprika. Then, stir in the heavy cream.
- Cover the skillet and heat the cream until it comes to a simmer. Then, pour in the beef broth and the remaining spices.
- Bring the sauce to a boil. Then, reduce it to a simmer and allow it to cook, uncovered, for about 5 minutes or until the sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
- Finally, turn off the stove heat and stir in the sour cream to bring the sauce fully together. To serve, use a slotted spoon to remove the bacon wrapped meatballs from the crock pot and remove the toothpicks. Serve the mushroom sauce hot over the meatballs and enjoy!
