  1. 1

    Form the Meatballs

    In a mixing bowl, combine panko and 2 Tbsp. water. Let sit, 1 minute.

    After 1 minute, add ground beef, half the garlic salt, and half the mushroom seasoning (reserve remaining of both for green beans) to bowl with panko. Stir to combine.

    Form mixture into eight evenly-sized meatballs.
  2. 2

    Start the Meatballs

    Place a medium non-stick pan over medium heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.

    Add meatballs to hot pan and roll occasionally until browned all over, 5-6 minutes.

    Add bacon and mushrooms. Stir occasionally until lightly softened, 2-3 minutes.

    Add demi-glace, 2 Tbsp. water, and a pinch of pepper. Cover, and cook until meatballs reach a minimum internal temperature of 160 degrees, 3-5 minutes.

    While meatballs cook, cook green beans.
  3. 3

    Cook the Green Beans

    Place a large non-stick pan over medium-high heat and add 2 tsp. olive oil.
