• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup sour cream

Directions:

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

Mix 3/4 cup of the water and 1/4 cup of the soup in a large bowl. Add meat, dry stuffing mix and eggs; mix lightly. Divide meat mixture in half. Cover and refrigerate half of the meat mixture for up to 24 hours. Shape remaining meat mixture into 12 meatballs, each about 1 1/2 inch in diameter. Place, in single layer, in shallow foil-lined baking pan.

Bake for 20 minutes. Remove meatballs from oven; set aside. Mix remaining soup and sour cream in large saucepan. Add meatballs and remaining 1/2 cup water; cook on low heat 10 minutes or until heated through, stirring occasionally.

Serve over hot cooked egg noodles.
