Ingredients:
2 lbs ground beef
3/4cup flavored breadcrumbs
2 eggs
¼ cup cold water


4 cups roughly chopped Portobello mushrooms- double if you love mushrooms
(I have also made this with a variety of mushrooms)
S&P
1 ½ cups cola soda (I use diet coke/pepsi)
Serve on egg noodles or a rice/grain

Combine first 4 ingredients into meatballs-
Spray a skillet with oil spray and heat, cook/brown meatballs. Drain and remove meatballs, leaving a small amount of fat in the pan.

Add roughly chopped Portobello mushrooms to pan and sauté (just to heat the mushrooms is enough or you might have to add some oil spray). Deglaze with ½ cup of cola soda- immediately return meatballs, add mushroom soup and combine using a whisk adding another ½ cup soda. Continue cooking, you will probably need another ½ cup of soda for the right sauce consistency.

Great over noodles or rice.
