Instructions
Meatballs
- Combine all of the ingredients for the meatballs except the oil. Before you begin, make sure the onions are chopped especially fine or it could affect the ability for the balls to hold together well. Use your hands to get in there and fold, mix, squeeze and turn till all is combined well.
- Form into tight 1-inch balls Drizzle the oil in a hot skillet. Place the meatballs in a single layer, turning till they are cooked through. If your skillet is not big enough, do it in several batches. Set aside the meatballs that are done while you cook the rest.
- Remove all the meatballs when they are done, In the same skillet, melt the better then whisk in the flour to make a smooth paste. Add in the beef gravy a little at a time while whisking.
- When the gravy is thick, and bubbly turn the heat off and add the sour cream. Stir in till smooth. Add the meatballs back in.
- Serve over mashed potatoes. You could also serve over rice or pasta.
