Polish Meatballs in Cream Sauce: Easy Dinner Idea

heavy cream

🥗Healthier: Greek yogurt

💰Cheaper: milk + cornstarch

Greek yogurt reduces calories while maintaining creaminess

ground pork

🥗Healthier: ground turkey

💰Cheaper: ground beef

Ground turkey is leaner and healthier, while ground beef is often less expensive.

Mix ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, bread crumbs, egg, milk, salt, and pepper in a bowl until well combined.

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about the size of a golf ball.

Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.

Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

Sprinkle flour into the same skillet and stir for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden.

Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet.

Bring the sauce to a simmer and cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.

Stir in heavy cream and return the meatballs to the skillet.

Simmer for an additional 5-7 minutes until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is creamy.

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
