Ingredients List

  • 1 pound ground beef

  • ½ pound ground pork

  • ½ pound ground veal

  • 2 teaspoons salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper

  • 2 eggs

  • ⅓ cup finely chopped onion

  • ½ cup heavy cream

  • 1 cup dry bread crumbs

  • 1 cup butter

  • ¼ cup all-purpose flour

  • 2 cups chicken broth

  • 2 cups sour cream

  • ¼ cup chopped fresh dill


Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. In a large bowl, mix beef, pork, veal, salt, pepper, eggs, onion and heavy cream. With moistened hands, shape the mixture into 1 inch balls. Roll the balls in the bread crumbs until all balls are well coated. Arrange in a single layer on a large, shallow baking sheet.

  5. Place meatballs in a chafing dish and cover with the sauce to serve.
