Super Supper Dish
A hearty, comforting dish featuring savory meatballs in a creamy mushroom sauce, topped with mashed potatoes and browned under the broiler for a satisfying family meal.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Shape the hamburger into small meatballs.
- Sprinkle with salt and brown in a frying pan; drain off excess fat.
- Add sliced onion and brown slightly.
- Add cream of mushroom soup, combined with water.
- Cover and cook over low heat, stirring occasionally, until meatballs are done.
- When ready to serve, cover with mashed potatoes (prepared according to instructions); spread with a little butter or margarine and brown under the broiler.
Tips & Substitutions
For added flavor, consider mixing in some garlic powder or Italian seasoning with the hamburger before shaping the meatballs. If you don't have cream of mushroom soup, you can substitute it with homemade mushroom gravy or a mix of sour cream and broth for a creamy texture. Be sure to brown the meatballs well for a richer flavor, similar to what you'd find in American recipes.
Serving Suggestions
Serve the Super Supper Dish hot, garnished with fresh parsley or chives for a pop of color. It pairs beautifully with a side salad for a complete meal. You can also serve it alongside Biscuit Cups for a fun twist, or offer some crusty bread to soak up the delicious sauce.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, place in a microwave-safe dish and cover. Heat on medium power, stirring occasionally, until warmed through. Alternatively, you can reheat in a skillet over low heat, adding a splash of water to maintain moisture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of meat for the meatballs?
Absolutely! You can substitute the hamburger with ground turkey, chicken, or even a plant-based meat alternative for a lighter version. Just adjust cooking times as needed to ensure the meat is fully cooked through.
What can I serve with this dish?
This dish goes well with various sides. Consider pairing it with steamed vegetables like green beans or broccoli for a balanced meal. Mashed potatoes are a classic choice, but you could also serve it over rice or even noodles for a change of pace.
How do I make the mashed potatoes from scratch?
To make mashed potatoes from scratch, peel and chop about 2 pounds of potatoes. Boil them in salted water until tender, then drain and mash with butter, milk, salt, and pepper to taste. For a creamier consistency, you can add sour cream or cream cheese.
