These delicious, juicy meatballs in creamy sauce will not leave anyone indifferent.
I cook this dish of meat of two kinds – beef and pork. If you cook mitbols only from beef, then there is a high probability that they will turn out dry. To make the meatballs turned out tender and juicy use as much as possible only fresh meat (that is not frozen).

Сooking process
1 First of all, cook mince. Scroll through the meat grinder pieces of beef, pork and onion.
Add to the baked meat with onion egg, breadcrumbs, crushed dill, grated nutmeg, black ground pepper and salt. Squeeze garlic into this mass. We pour milk in there. Now you need to mix the mixture very well. You can do it with your hands or in a combine.
2 From the resulting mince we form small balls. Each is no more than 3-4 cm in diameter. We roll the balls in flour.
3 Go to roasting meatballs. In a frying pan, melt the butter (or creamy vegetable oil). Put the balls in a preheated frying pan and fry them on all sides until ruddy crust (approximately 10-12 minutes). Do it on medium heat.
4 At the same time as frying the meatballs, cook the sauce in a nearby frying pan. Pour the cream into a cold frying pan. If you pour them into a preheated frying pan, they can just curl up. Prepare the sauce over low heat. To the cream gradually pour flour, at the same time you need to constantly interfere. It is necessary to stir in order that the finished sauce was homogeneous and without lumps. When the sauce begins to thicken, add to it black ground pepper, salt and nutmeg.
5 Pour the broth into the pan with the meatballs. The broth can be any. I made chicken. But you can also use beef or vegetable. If there is no broth, then replace it with water.
Now add the creamy sauce from the next pan. Mix everything gently and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
Ready meatballs in a creamy sauce sprinkle with finely chopped greens. They go well with many side dishes. You can serve them to buckwheat, bulgur, rice or kuskus.
Useful advice: cook two or three times as many balls at once. Part can be cooked immediately, and the rest freeze. They’re perfectly able to stand the freeze.
