Use a cookie scoop to portion out the meatballs, and place on a sheet pan. Bake for 15 minutes, until the meatballs are fully cooked through to 160F.
Melt the butter in a skillet over medium high heat, then add the mushrooms. Season with a pinch of salt, then cook for about 5 minutes, until the mushrooms have softened. Add the red wine to the pan and cook for 2 minutes.
Whisk together the cornstarch and chicken broth to make a slurry, and add to the mushroom pan. Cook for 2 minutes, until the sauce has thickened. Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook for 2 more minutes, until the meatballs are also coated in the sauce. Serve and enjoy!
