  • 1 teaspoon oregano

  • 2 tablespoons flour
  • 2 cups chicken or beef broth (or water and bouillon cube)
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup finely chopped parsley to garnish

Instructions:

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, quick cooking oats, egg, salt, cayenne pepper, and oregano.

  • Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir in the broth until the flour is fully blended and the mixture is smooth. Bring the sauce to a boil and simmer for 2 minutes until it thickens.
  • Return the meatballs to the skillet, bring it back to a boil, and simmer for 15 minutes, stirring frequently, or until the meatballs are fully cooked.
  • Just before serving, vigorously stir the sour cream in a small bowl until it becomes smooth. Remove the pan from the heat and gradually stir the sour cream into the meatball sauce (off the heat), then heat it until it’s piping hot.
  • Serve immediately, preferably with pasta, and garnish with chopped parsley.
