I loved the meatballs. I thought the addition of green onions was fantastic.

I did not like the sauce. It was just a white sauce with dill thrown in at the end and was tasteless for us. Definitely didn't do the meatballs justice.

My dad loved the beef version! He was very happy. I also made a fake meat version, since I don't eat meat. Both turned out great! I did add a little bacon to the beef version and it added great flavor. I love the dill sauce. It was very simple and it would be great for noodles or on potatoes. Thank you for sharing the recipe. Peace & Love, ElaineAnn

Very nice, easy recipe. Meatballs were very good! Husband thought that they needed something...but could not say what. we all agreed it was a good comfort food meal. Served over noodles. Reminds me of a meal my Aunt used to make. I will be keeping it. Thanks for posting. ZWT6
