Directions
MEATBALLS
SAUCE
MEATBALLS: Saute onion in butter for several minutes over low heat. Do NOT brown. Add sauteed onions to meat, bread crumbs, whipping cream, seasonings and eggs, which have been mixed together in a large bowl. Shape into 1" balls. Makes well over 100 meatballs. Brown meatballs lightly in butter (about 1 dozen at a time) turning often. Do NOT crowd. Keep browned meatballs warm in top of double boiler or in covered casserole in warm oven (not over 200 degrees).
SAUCE: Combine pan drippings and flour in saucepan and cook until lightly browned, stirring constantly. Add sour cream, whipping cream and seasonings, blending well. (I use a whisk.) Bring JUST to the simmer point and pour over hot meatballs, which have been placed in a chafing dish.
