Cooking Steps

Prep
1
  • Before starting, preheat the oven to 450˚F. Wash and dry all produce.
  • Remove any brown spots from potatoes, then peel and cut into 1-inch pieces.
  • Peel, then cut carrot into 1/4-inch coins.
  • Peel, then cut onion into 1/4-inch slices. 
  • Roughly chop parsley. 
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic. 
Cook mashed potatoes
2
  • To a large pot, add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover by approx. 1 inch (use same for 4 servings).
  • Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered for 8-10 min, until fork-tender.
  • Drain and return potatoes to the pot, off heat.
  • Add 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) milk, sour cream and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Season with salt and pepper, then mash into a rustic texture.
  • Cover and set aside.
Bake meatballs
3
  • Meanwhile, line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • To a large bowl, add beef, garlic, breadcrumbs and half the stock powder. Mix to combine. 
  • Roll mixture into 8 (16) equal-sized meatballs.
  • On the prepared baking sheet, arrange meatballs.
  • Roast in the middle of the oven for 8-10 min, or until browned and cooked through.**
Cook veggies
4
  • Heat a large non-stick pan over medium-high.
  • When hot, add carrots, peas and 1/4 cup (1/2 cup) water.
  • Cook for 4-5 min, stirring occasionally, until water evaporates.
  • Add 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil and honey. Cook for 1 min, stirring often, until veggies are tender-crisp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Transfer half the veggies to a medium bowl. Set aside. (NOTE: This is your kid's portion.) 
  • Add parsley to the pan with the remaining veggies. Toss to coat. 
Cook gravy
5
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot, heat 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil over medium.
  • Add onions. Cook for 3-4 min, stirring occasionally, until slightly softened. Transfer onions to a plate. Set aside. 
  • Add Gravy Spice Blend, remaining stock powder and 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter. Cook for 30 sec, stirring often, until toasted.
  • Whisk in 1 cup (2 cups) water. Bring to a simmer over medium-high.
  • Once simmering, reduce heat to medium-low. Cook for 1-2 min, whisking occasionally, until gravy thickens slightly. 
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide mashed potatoes and meatballs between plates. Serve veggies without parsley alongside. Top with half the gravy. (NOTE: This is your child's portion.) 
  • Spoon onions over potatoes and meatballs on the remaining plate, then top with gravy. Sprinkle crispy shallots over top. Serve veggies with parsley alongside.

Review summary

Updated on Feb 2026
  • Flavor: Meatballs and mashed potatoes were excellent, with the meal receiving praise from both adults and children.
  • Ease of prep: Many found the recipe involved too many steps and dishes, with some opting to simplify it into a one-pot meal.
  • Suggestions: Consider adding an egg to the meatballs for moisture; ensure carrots are cut thinly for proper cooking.
  • Portions: Some found the portion size adequate, while others felt it was too small for the stated number of servings.
  • Modifications: Try mixing meatballs directly into the gravy; use cornstarch instead of flour for a gluten-free gravy option.
