We’re all looking for some hearty dishes to enjoy during winter and most of them are nice and meaty. Most people who enjoy eating beef tend to enjoy mushrooms for their meatiness too. We have combined them in an easy recipe that you can enjoy every weeknight with your family. Meatballs are easy and fun to make, but also versatile, so you won’t get bored. Our baked paprika mushroom meatballs are here for you and are a great family delicacy.

Beef mince of course adds loads of tasty protein and the addition of mushrooms provides more nutrients and fibre with its flavour. If you’re trying to teach the kids to cook, this is a great way to do it. It’s all about shaping and popping it into the oven to cook. The recipe doubles down on the smoked paprika for that light smoke and spice. The sauce is delicious and soaks into the meatballs. You can serve them with sour cream or on a bed of spaghetti if you’re in a pasta mood.
