Meatballs baked in the oven in sour cream sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Meatballs are a great everyday option. From a small amount of minced meat, you'll get quite a lot of meatballs. Besides meat and rice, you can also use vegetables in the recipe. Pre-frying gives meatballs a more appetizing crust, but if you prefer healthier food, you can skip frying and bake them right away. For extra flavor, you can add garlic, mustard, and any spices you like to the sour cream sauce. Serve the dish hot.
