Meatballs with Creamy Mushroom Gravy

This was the perfect dinner on a very winter like spring night.  It was hearty and warm, the gravy was so savory and delicious.  You could put it over rice as well but over mashed potatoes was just perfect. This recipe is adapted from Miss in the Kitchen.

1 lb ground beef
1 egg (beaten)
2 tbsp steak sauce
1/3 cup bread crumbs
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper

2 tbsp butter
8 oz mushrooms (chopped)
2 cups chicken broth
2 tbsp cornstarch
2 tsp herbs de provence
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
3 tbsp cream cheese (softened)

Heat oven to 375. In a bowl combine the ground beef, egg, steak sauce, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt and pepper. Divide and shape into meatballs.  Place in a greased baking dish and cook for 20  minutes. In a large skillet melt the butter.  Add the mushrooms and cook for 5 minutes. Stir in the herbs de provence, salt and pepper. In a small bowl whisk together the chicken broth and cornstarch. Stir into the mushroom mixture then lower the heat and cook for 5 minutes. Add the cream cheese and stir until smooth. Place the meatballs in the gravy and cook for 10 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes or rice.
