Instructions
- In a bowl, combine 1/3 cup of stock and the breadcrumbs; reserve. Over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter in a skillet. Add onion; sauté and brown (10 mins.) Place cooked onions in a separate bowl.
- Wipe skillet, reheat on medium. Cook bacon to desired crispness; use a slotted spoon to add bacon to onion. Reserve bacon fat. Using your hands, combine next 8 ingredients with onion. Then fold in the breadcrumbs and stock. One tablespoon at a time, create meatballs and place on a lined baking sheet.

Place cooked meatballs on plate. Reserve 2 tablespoons of drippings; add flour and whisk to form paste. Add 2 cups of stock; simmer; stirring often. Add meatballs to pot; cover and simmer 5-6 minutes. Remove from heat; add sour cream to thoroughly coat meatballs.
