Danish Meatballs with Dill Sauce image

This is a very tasty, but unique, meatball recipe perfect for holiday parties. For some reason, men love these! I have found that purchasing pre-made meatballs cuts the prep time significantly and tastes good, too.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Melt 1/2 cup butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Stir in the flour. Gradually stir in the chicken broth. Continue stirring until thickened and bubbly, then blend in the sour cream and fresh dill.
  • Melt remaining butter in a small saucepan, and drizzle over the meatballs. Bake meatballs in the preheated oven 35 minutes, turning occasionally, until evenly browned.
  • Place meatballs in a chafing dish and cover with the sauce to serve.
