Loved it! I didn't use a nonstick pan because I like to use a wire whisk for the sauce. I shaped the meatballs and then got the pan and butter to a medium high heat; quickly placed the meatballs and didn't turn them until they released easily. I used Dijon mustard. I served this with Gay's Spinach Gratin (#14415) and bread. I made this gluten-free using gluten-free ingredients, including the bread I served with it. We really enjoyed this recipe. : )

Very tasty! Tender meatballs in a thick, creamy mustard sauce. My family really enjoyed the dish, but if you're not a mustard fan, I'd suggest cutting the prepared mustard to 1T. Used a Circulon skillet and it did stick. Served with noodles, but rice or a wild rice mix would be very good. Quick and simple to prepare. Thanks for sharing the recipe!

I loved the gravy. The only thing I did different was i baked the meatballs( TRIPLED recipe) and froze them. I took out the correct amountand microwaved them to defrost . I then dropped them in the skillet for a couple of minutes and then made the gravy. My friends ate the whole pan. Still raving about them thanks for the recipe.

I live in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies and have always enjoyed cooking. I do wish my friends would try new things more often, it's not like I've ever made them sick... often.
