Ingredients

1 ½ pounds ground beef

1 small onion, finely chopped

½ cup cooked wild rice

½ teaspoon seasoned salt

½ teaspoon garlic salt

⅓ cup bread crumbs

½ cup evaporated milk

1 tablespoon butter

8 ounces sliced fresh mushrooms

1 pinch salt

⅔ cup dry white wine

⅔ cup water

1 (10.5 ounce) can low-sodium condensed cream of mushroom soup

½ teaspoon salt

¼ teaspoon dried sage

1 (9.74 ounce) package Idahoan Signature Russets Mashed Potatoes

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Step 2

Make the meatballs: Mix beef, onion, cooked rice, seasoned salt, garlic salt, bread crumbs, and evaporated milk together in a bowl until well combined. Shape into 1-inch meatballs. Place meatballs onto a rimmed baking sheet.

Step 3

Bake in the preheated oven until brown, about 15 minutes.

Step 4

While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce: Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add mushrooms and sprinkle with a pinch of salt; sauté until mushrooms release their moisture and soften, about 10 minutes. Add wine, water, condensed soup, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and sage; stir to combine.

Step 5

Transfer meatballs to the sauce and simmer until cooked through and hot, 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

Step 6

Meanwhile, prepare mashed potatoes according to the package instructions. Serve with meatballs and mushroom sauce.
