Number Of Ingredients 21

cooking spray
1 cup fresh bread crumbs
¾ cup milk
1 pound lean ground beef
½ pound lean ground pork
½ cup finely chopped onion
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley
¼ cup finely chopped celery
1 large egg, lightly beaten
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon white sugar
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 tablespoons chopped fresh dill
¼ teaspoon lemon zest
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Combine bread crumbs and milk in a large bowl. Allow bread crumbs to soak up the milk for about 10 minutes.

Place meatballs on the prepared baking rack.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 18 minutes.
  • 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.
  • 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.
