    These mushroom-stuffed meatballs are served with mashed potatoes and pickles. They are a comforting and delicious way of enjoying Polish-style meatballs.

    These mushroom-stuffed meatballs are a festive twist on a classic - juicy ground meat filled with mushrooms, onions, and herbs, making them perfect for the holiday season.

    You might already know how much we love meatballs in our house! Either regular Romanian Meatballs - Chiftele like my grandmother used to make all the time or the Zucchini Beef Meatballs. With a sauce like the Pork Meatballs in Tomato Sauce or the Turkey Meatballs in Turmeric Sauce.

    It doesn't matter the sauce or the kind of meat used; it doesn't even matter if they are actually made with meat; if they are round and can be called meatballs or โ€œmeatballs,โ€ we love them!

    Check out these Polish meatballs with mushroom gravy, a completely different yet equally tasty recipe.

    • Polish Mushroom Stuffed Meatballs

    Recipe ingredients

    Ground meat: I use a mixture of ground beef and ground pork most of the time. Only one sort is fine as well, but I tend to think that pure pork meatballs might be fattier and pure beef ones slightly drier.

    Mushrooms: White button mushrooms or cremini are both fine.

    Other ingredients: butter, onions, dill (fresh or frozen, not dried), flour, eggs, a slice of white bread, garlic, thyme, salt and pepper, and vegetable oil.

    See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.

    How to make meatballs stuffed with mushrooms?

    Make the mushroom filling

    • Chop the onions and mushrooms separately.
    • Cook the onions until translucent, then remove half of them for the meat mixture.
    • Add the mushrooms to the pan and cook until their juices evaporate. Stir in flour, season, add dill, and cook for 2 more minutes. Let cool slightly.

    Make the meatballs

    • Mix the reserved onions, ground meat, soaked bread, garlic, one egg, thyme, salt, and pepper.
    • Beat the second egg in a bowl and place the flour on a plate.
    • Divide the meat into eight portions, flatten each, add the mushroom filling, and shape into balls. Flatten slightly, coat in flour, and place on a plate.
    • Coat again in flour, shake off excess, then dip in the beaten egg.

    Cook the stuffed meatballs

    • Shallow-fry them in a little oil in the skillet.
    • Cook for 6 minutes on one side, flip, cover, and cook on low heat for about 10 minutes or until cooked through.

    Store and reheat

    Refrigerate: Let the mushroom-stuffed meatballs cool completely, then refrigerate them in an airtight container for up to 3 days. For longer storage, freeze them in a single layer on a tray, then transfer them to a freezer bag or container for up to 2 months.

    Reheatย mushroom-stuffed meatballs on the stovetop with a splash of water or broth over low-medium heat in the oven at 350ยฐF/ 175ยฐC for 10-15 minutes (covered to prevent drying) or in the microwave in short 30-second bursts. If frozen, thaw overnight in the fridge before reheating.

    • one whole romanian pickled tomato and one more slice with carrot pieces in between.

    • bowl of creamy carrot and sweet mush with a spoon in it.
      Creamy Carrot and Swede Mash
    • overhead view of a plate full of chimichurri rice sprinkled with herbs.

    • My favorite way of serving the Polish mushroom stuffed meatballs is with regular mashed potatoes or these garlic mashed potatoes.
    • And pickles: green tomato pickles, sweet and sour zucchini, or any other pickles you like.
    • You can also serve them with vegetable pilaf, carrot rice, or Jollof rice as well. And a green salad with yogurt dressing or vinaigrette.

    Ingredients 

    • 1 tablespoon butter
    • 2 onions divided
    • 5.5 oz mushrooms
    • 3-4 tablespoons all-purpose flour divided
    • 2 tablespoons chopped dill
    • 1 slice white bread about
    • 1 lb mixed ground beef and ground pork Note 1
    • 2 garlic cloves
    • 2 eggs divided
    • a good pinch of dried thyme
    • fine sea salt and pepper
    • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
    • mashed potatoes and pickles to serve

    Instructions

    Stuffing:

    • Prepare vegetables: Chop the onions very finely. Set aside. Clean the mushrooms with kitchen paper and chop them finely. Set aside.
      2 onions + 5.5 oz mushrooms
    • Cook onions: Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet or heavy-bottomed pan that you will use for frying the meatballs later as well. Cook the onion until translucent. Remove half of the cooked onions and place them into the bowl used for making the meatball mixture.
      1 tablespoon butter
    • Add the mushrooms to the onions left in the skillet and continue cooking for about 5 minutes or until the juices released by the mushrooms are evaporated. Add salt and pepper to taste, 1 tablespoon of the flour, and stir well. Cook for a further 2 minutes while stirring often. Stir in the chopped dill and set aside to cool slightly.

    Meatballs:

    • Combine: Soak the bread in a little water. Place the ground meat into the bowl with the cooked onions. Add the grated garlic cloves, the squeezed-out bread, one of the eggs, thyme, salt, and pepper to taste.
      1 slice white bread + onions + 1 lb mixed ground beef and ground pork + 2 garlic cloves + 1 egg + a good pinch of dried thyme + fine sea salt and pepper
    • Beat the second egg in a small bowl.
    • Place the remaining flour onto a plate.
    • Shape meatballs: Divide the meat mixture into eight parts. Take one portion into your wet hand and flatten it. Add some of the mushroom filling in the middle and form a meatball. Flatten it again slightly and turn it into the flour on the plate. Place on another plate and form the remaining meatballs. Wet your hands a few times in between; it will make things easier.
    • Wipe the skillet or pan clean with some kitchen paper. Heat the remaining oil in the skillet.
    • Turn the meatballs into the flour again, and shake them gently to remove the excess flour. Dip them into the egg and place them into the hot pan.
    • Cook on medium-low heat for 6 minutes. Turn the meatballs on the other side and turn the heat down to low. Cover the pan and continue cooking on low heat for about 10 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
    • Serve hot with mashed potatoes and pickles.

    Notes

    Ground meat: You can use only beef or only pork if you like, but I find the mix best.
