Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Spray the baking rack with cooking spray.
- Combine bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl. Allow bread crumbs to soak up the milk for about 10 minutes. Mix in ground beef, ground pork, onion, parsley, celery, egg, garlic, sugar, salt, and pepper until combined; mixture will be fairly wet. Shape into 36 meatballs with a 1-tablespoon cookie scoop. Place meatballs on the prepared baking rack.
- Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 18 minutes.
- While the meatballs are baking, melt butter for sauce in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
- Remove meatballs from the oven and add to the sauce mixture. Simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in sour cream, dill, and lemon zest. Season with salt and pepper and serve immediately.

Steps:
- In a large bowl mix the meat, salt, pepper, eggs, onion and cream.
- (I use my kitchenaid).
- With moistened hands (this will be sticky), shape into 1 inch balls.
- Roll the meatballs in bread crumbs until well coated.
- Arrange in a single layer on shallow baking pans.
- Drizzle melted butter over the meatballs.
- Bake at 375 degrees, turning 3 or 4 times, until evenly browned, about 35 minutes.
- Meanwhile, make the sauce:.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan over low heat.
- Whisk in the flour till smooth.
- Gradually stir in the chicken broth.
- Continue stirring until thickened and bubbly, then blend in sour cream, dill and seasonings.
- Place meatballs in a serving dish and cover with the sauce.
- Serve over egg noodles.
Tips:
- Use fresh herbs. Fresh dill is essential for the best flavor in this dish. If you don't have fresh dill, you can use 1 tablespoon of dried dill, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overcook the meatballs. Overcooked meatballs will be tough and dry. Cook them just until they are cooked through, about 10 minutes.
- Make sure the sauce is thick enough. The sauce should be thick enough to coat the meatballs and vegetables. If it's too thin, add a little cornstarch or flour.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Mashed potatoes, rice, or egg noodles are all good options.
Conclusion:
These meatballs in creamy dill sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The meatballs are tender and flavorful, and the sauce is creamy and tangy. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
