Instructions
- Cut potatoes into 1-inch pieces.
- Add potatoes, 2 tsp salt and enough water to cover (by approx. 1 inch) to a large pot (use same for 4 ppl). Cover and bring to a boil over high heat.
- Once boiling, reduce heat to medium. Simmer uncovered until fork-tender, 10-12 min.
- Drain and return potatoes to the same pot, off heat.
- Mash cream, 2 tbsp (4 tbsp) butter and cheddar into potatoes until creamy. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
Check if white cheddar works as the cheesy element in the potatoes or if it should be swapped for cream cheese or another cheese
- Meanwhile, halve Brussels sprouts (if larger, quarter them).
- Add Brussels sprouts and 1 tbsp (2 tbsp) oil to an unlined baking sheet. Season with salt and pepper, then toss to combine.
- Roast in the top of the oven until tender, 16-20 min.
- Add bison, breadcrumbs and 1/4 tsp (1/2 tsp) salt to a large bowl. Season with pepper, then combine.
- Roll mixture into 12 (24) equal-sized meatballs.
- Arrange meatballs on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the middle of the oven until golden-brown and cooked through, 8-10 min.**
Does this need to be increased to 10-12 or not because they are smaller?
- Thinly slice mushrooms.
- On a separate cutting board, cut bacon crosswise into 1/4-inch strips.
- Heat a large non-stick pan over medium heat.
- When hot, add bacon. Cook, stirring often, until bacon starts to brown, 1 min.
- Add mushrooms. Cook, stirring often, until mushrooms are softened, 5-6 min. Sprinkle with gravy spice blend. Cook, stirring often, until fragrant, 30 sec. Add broth concentrate and 2/3 cup (1 1/3 cups) water. Bring to a simmer. Add meatballs. Cook until gravy thickens slightly and meatballs are warmed through, 3-4 min.
