Add the beef and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary.

COCKTAIL MEATBALLS
These tasty meatballs will disappear quickly from anyone's holiday party. My mom makes them every year for New Years Eve, and now so do I. These do very well in a slow cooker, as you can simmer them before serving, as well as keep them hot for the duration of your party.

- Cook the peas or green beans in a pan of boiling water for a few minutes until tender. Drain and leave to steam-dry. Stir the meatballs through the sauce and cook for 1-2 mins until hot and cooked through, then season. If you want to make the meatballs ahead, leave to cool. Will keep chilled for up to a day.

MUSHROOM AND BEEF MEATBALLS
It is rare that meatballs can be described as light, but these are. You bake them in the oven at a low temperature and the result is a very tender meatball. The mushroom base renders a flavor that is more vegetal than meaty. The recipe is easy to double and the meatballs freeze well. They are great to have on hand.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Put the bread in a bowl, toss with the milk (add a little more milk if 1/4 cup isn't enough to moisten all the bread) and let soak for 20 minutes.
- Meanwhile toss the carrots with 2 teaspoons olive oil on a parchment-covered sheet pan and roast for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until tender and lightly browned (you can also make the mushroom base at this time).
- Squeeze the milk out of the bread and crumble the bread into a large bowl. Add the beef, mushrooms, carrots, onion, egg, parsley, salt, and pepper and mix together well.
- Turn the oven down to 300 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment. Working in batches, pulse the meat and vegetable mixture in a food processor fitted with the steel blade until pasty. Return to the bowl. Fill a small bowl with water for dipping your hands, then with wet hands form 1-ounce balls, which will be about the size of a golf ball, and place them on the parchment-lined baking sheet. You will need to keep wetting your hands.
- Bake 40 minutes, or until the meatballs are nicely browned. Remove from the oven and if desired, simmer for up to an hour in tomato sauce. I like to serve these with spaghetti.

Tips:
- Use Fresh Mushrooms: Fresh mushrooms have a more intense flavor and better texture than dried or canned mushrooms.
- Finely Chop the Mushrooms: Finely chopping the mushrooms will help them blend well with the other ingredients and create a smooth meatball texture.
- Use a Food Processor: A food processor is the easiest way to finely chop the mushrooms and other ingredients.
- Season the Meatballs Generously: Don't be afraid to season the meatballs generously. The flavors will mellow out during cooking.
- Cook the Meatballs Thoroughly: Make sure the meatballs are cooked thoroughly before serving. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the center of a meatball. The internal temperature should read 165°F (74°C).
- Serve the Meatballs Hot: Cocktail mushroom meatballs are best served hot and fresh out of the oven.

They are made with a combination of ground beef, pork, and mushrooms, and are seasoned with a variety of herbs and spices.
