meatballs:
2-3 cups soft bread cubes*
1 egg
1 C onion, chopped fine
4 cloves garlic
3 lbs ground meat (meatball mix, or whatever you have - I toss in venison when I have it)
3T dried dill
splash of gluten-free soy sauce (or worcestershire sauce, if the sugar doesn't bother you)
sauce:
large sour cream (32 oz?)
milk
Combine first seven ingredients and mix thoroughly. Yes, this means washing your hands and getting real with the meat. Roll into balls, from 1" up to golf ball size, but keep it consistent. (I pay my children 5 cents a ball to roll them for me. It is totally worth it.) Lay them on 2 cookie sheets and bake them in a 425F oven for 20 minutes, switching the sheets half way through so they each get a turn on top.
Move the meatballs into a casserole dish
with a cover. Whisk a large container of sour cream with enough milk to
make it pourable but not thin. Cover the meatballs with the sour cream
mixture and bake at 400F for 25 minutes covered and 20 minutes uncovered, until the sour cream sauce has browned on top.
* I use crumbs from my g-f waffles or cornbread. If you're using a sturdier, drier g-f bread you'll probably want to moisten it with a tablespoon or so of milk, as well.
