  1. I loved the meatballs. I thought the addition of green onions was fantastic. <br/><br/>I did not like the sauce. It was just a white sauce with dill thrown in at the end and was tasteless for us. Definitely didn't do the meatballs justice.
     
  2. My dad loved the beef version! He was very happy. I also made a fake meat version, since I don't eat meat. Both turned out great! I did add a little bacon to the beef version and it added great flavor. I love the dill sauce. It was very simple and it would be great for noodles or on potatoes. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Peace & Love, ElaineAnn
     
  3. Very nice, easy recipe. Meatballs were very good! Husband thought that they needed something...but could not say what. we all agreed it was a good comfort food meal. Served over noodles. Reminds me of a meal my Aunt used to make. I will be keeping it. Thanks for posting. ZWT6

  5. Made for the Photo Forum Dec International Christmas, Foods & Customs event & because of my lifelong fondness for the Czech, German & Polish cuisines ~ There are several reasons why I like this recipe: 1) It is tasty comfort food as you said, 2) It is ingredient, prep & family-friendly, 3) The meatball mixture holds together well & they brown nicely & 4) I esp like that the meatballs are baked vs fried. I had no idea how big to make the meatballs, but guessed & my yield was exactly 24 or 6 perfect servings. I did add garlic to the meat mixture & 5 min to the cook time which I recommend. I thot the sauce would be the star of this recipe, but was surprised that the meatballs really gave this dish its primary flavour & the sauce compliments it. I served it w/rice instead of noodles & we enjoyed it a lot. Thx for sharing this recipe w/us. *Edited to Add* ~ I just realized I put the full amt of salt in the meatballs, but quite by accident adjusted for it by not using salt in the sauce. :-)
