Ingredients:

• 2 lbs ground beef 🥩
• 1 1/2 cups milk 🥛
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onion 🧅
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs 🍞
• 2 eggs 🥚
• 1 tsp salt 🧂
• 1/2 tsp pepper 🌶️
• 1 onion, chopped 🧅
• 1/4 cup butter 🧈
• 4 tbsp all-purpose flour 🌾
• 2 cups beef consommé 🍲
• 2 tbsp ketchup 🍅
• 1 cup sour cream 🥄
• Broad egg noodles or rice, for serving 🍚

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Meatballs:

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, milk, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, eggs, salt, and pepper.
2. Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.
3. Roll the mixture into balls of your desired size. 🏀
4. Place the meatballs on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or aluminum foil, ensuring they are evenly spaced apart.
5. Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 25-30 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
6. Once cooked, remove the meatballs from the oven and drain any excess grease. Set them aside while you prepare the sauce.

2. Prepare the Sauce:

1. In a skillet or saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
3. Sprinkle the flour over the onions, stirring constantly to form a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes to remove the raw flour taste.
4. Slowly pour in the beef consommé, stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming.
5. Add the ketchup to the sauce, stirring well to incorporate.
6. Allow the sauce to simmer gently, stirring occasionally, until it thickens to your desired consistency.
7. Once the sauce has thickened, reduce the heat to low and stir in the sour cream until it is fully combined and heated through.
8. Carefully add the cooked meatballs to the sauce, ensuring they are evenly coated.
9. Transfer the meatballs and sauce mixture to a casserole dish, if not already using one, and keep warm in a 300°F (150°C) oven until ready to serve.

3. Serving:

1. Serve the Stroganoff Meatballs hot over a bed of broad egg noodles or rice, allowing the creamy sauce to envelop each meatball.
2. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or a dollop of sour cream, if desired, for added flavor and visual appeal.
3. Enjoy this comforting and satisfying dish with your loved ones, savoring each bite of tender meat and creamy sauce.

Note: You can adjust the amount of sour cream according to your preference. Start with a smaller amount and gradually add more until you reach your desired level of creaminess.
