This is one of our favorite main dishes. Because we raise our own pork and beef, the meat we use is always freshly ground. For variety, these meatballs can be cooked with a sweet cream gravy or steamed with tomatoes. But we prefer them with homemade sauerkraut. -Iona Redemer, Calumet, Oklahoma

  • Brown the meatballs in a skillet before simmering them in the gravy: This will help to develop their flavor.
  • Use a good quality cream: Heavy cream or crème fraiche will give the gravy a rich and creamy texture.
  • Fresh herbs are best: Dill, parsley, and chives will add a bright and flavorful touch to the gravy.
  • Serve the meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice: These dishes will help to soak up the delicious gravy.
