The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Meatballs with sauce can be made with any sauce: sour cream, tomato, sour cream-tomato, or olive-based with added spices, lemon or lime juice. The minced meat can be made from any type of meat: beef, veal, chicken, pork, or turkey. Watch and remember my recipe. The finished dish can be served at the table.

Step 1
To prepare meatballs in sauce, we need to take ground meat. I'm using store-bought ground meat, but you can also make it at home. The best meat ratio for delicious meatballs is 50% pork and 50% beef.

Step 2
Add boiled rice to the minced meat. It's better to slightly undercook the rice, so it won't get lost in the meatballs and will remain distinctly noticeable, making the dish much more delicious.

Pour tomato juice into another skillet. Add spices to taste. Grate the carrot on a grater. Add it to the tomato juice and bring to a boil. Simmer the carrot in the tomato sauce for about 5–7 minutes. Transfer the meatballs to the skillet or a small pot. Pour the prepared sauce over them. Simmer over low heat for about 40 minutes. There is no need to stir or lift the meatballs.
