Meatballs and Sauce

Few things go better together than beef and a nice cream sauce.  Few cream sauces are better than easy-to-make sauces.  You're welcome.  :-) 


1 lb. ground beef                 1 can condensed cream of mushroom soup
1 t dried dill                            1/8 t paprika
1 t salt, divided                       1 c sour cream
1/2 t pepper, divided               1/2 c milk
1 egg                                       1 lb. pasta
1/2 c bread crumbs                 


1)  Combine beef, dill, 1/2 t salt, 1/4 t pepper, egg, and breadcrumbs in a bowl.  Set aside for 5-10 minutes.
2)  Heat large skillet over medium heat.  Form beef mixture into twelve golf ball-sized balls.  Brown meatballs on all sides, approximately five minutes per side.  Remove and keep warm.
3)  Combine soup and paprika in skillet, stirring until thoroughly combined.  Add sour cream and milk.  Heat over low heat until bubbling, approximately five minutes.  Add meatballs to sauce, cover and simmer 10-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
4) Cook pasta according to directions.  Serve with meatballs and sauce.


(Hopefully) Useful Suggestion:  for a little variety, substitute ground turkey for the beef!
