8.Garnish with fresh parsley and serve the Moosehunters with the wild mushroom sauce.
Treat your ingredients with care...
- Ground beef and pork — Use lean ground meat for a healthier option. If desired, you can substitute with ground turkey or chicken.
- Wild mushrooms — Clean the mushrooms gently with a damp cloth to remove any dirt before slicing.
- Heavy cream — For a lighter version, you can use half-and-half or whole milk instead.
Tips & Tricks
- For extra flavor, you can add a splash of Worcestershire sauce to the meatball mixture.
- If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the amount of flour used for the roux.
- Serve the Moosehunters with mashed potatoes or buttered noodles for a complete meal.
- To make the dish more visually appealing, sprinkle some additional sautéed wild mushrooms on top before serving.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
