Meatballs in sour cream - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Yes! Greek yogurt is a great substitute for sour cream, offering a similar tangy flavor and creamy texture. Just ensure it’s room temperature to avoid curdling, and stir gently when mixing.
This recipe is naturally gluten-free as written. Just confirm your spices and sour cream are certified gluten-free if needed. For binding, the egg and moisture from the onions are sufficient.
Store cooled leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water to revive the sauce’s consistency.
Freeze just the cooked meatballs (without sauce) for up to 3 months. The sauce may separate when thawed—prepare fresh sauce when reheating for best results.
Try mashed potatoes, buttered noodles, or steamed rice to soak up the sauce. A crisp green salad or roasted vegetables add freshness.
Swap the ground meat for a plant-based mince or lentils, and use a vegan sour cream alternative. Adjust cooking time as veggie options may cook faster.
Water thins the sauce slightly for even coating and prevents over-reducing while simmering. For richer flavor, substitute broth instead.
Absolutely! Bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes, turning once. Add sauce and simmer as directed for tender results.
