Instructions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line a ¼ size baking sheet pan or other small sheet pan with parchment paper. Set aside.
In a large bowl make the meatball mixture. Combine ground beef, ground pork, onion, seasoned bread crumbs, parsley, egg, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, kosher salt, and pepper. Try not to overmix the mixture or the meatballs will be tough.
Using about a tablespoon of the meatball mixture, form into balls. Place on the prepared sheet pan. The mixture should make about 30 meatballs.
Bake the meatballs in the oven for 16 to 18 minutes or until the internal temperature is about 160 degrees F on a instant read digital thermometer.
While the meatballs bake, prepare the sauce. In a large sauté pan, melt the salted butter. Add the onions and mushrooms and sauté, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes. The onions and mushrooms should be just soft, but still holding their shape.
Add the tomato paste and Dijon mustard. Stir and cook for about 1 minute.
Sprinkle the onion mushroom mixture with the all purpose flour. Stir to combine and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly add the reduced sodium beef broth and stir to combine. Bring to a low boil and cook the sauce until slightly thickened, about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the sour cream and parsley. Season to taste with kosher salt and pepper. Add the baked meatballs to the sauce.
Serve over egg noodles, rice, or mashed potatoes.

Notes
Use a combination of ground meats. Beef and pork make for rich, juicy meatballs. You can also use ground turkey or ground chicken, but they won’t have the same flavor.
Don't over mix. Mix the meatball ingredients gently until just combined to avoid dense, tough meatballs.
Bake or sauté. Baking is hands-off and easy, but pan-searing gives extra browning if you don't mind the stove. Use the same pan you will use to make the sauce for added flavor and a one pot meatball stroganoff meal.
Don't use cold sour cream. Cold sour cream can curdle when stirred into hot sauce. Let it sit out for about 30 minutes before adding it in.
Make ahead. Meatballs can be baked and stored in the fridge up to 3 days ahead. Just reheat them in the sauce when ready to serve.
