Directions

Step 1

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.

Step 2

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.

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.

Step 5

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.
