A delightful dish combining tender meatballs with a rich and creamy spinach sauce, perfect for a comforting meal.
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking from the start.
Place the frozen meatballs in the bottom of a round casserole dish.
Ensure the meatballs are evenly spaced for uniform cooking.
Sprinkle the frozen spinach evenly over the meatballs.
Break apart any clumps of spinach for even coverage.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sour cream, beef stock, dill, cumin, juice of the lemon, salt, and cornstarch until smooth.
Whisk thoroughly to avoid lumps in the sauce.
Pour the sauce mixture over the meatballs and spinach in the casserole dish.
Ensure the sauce covers all the ingredients for even cooking.
Cover the dish with a lid or foil and bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes.
Check halfway through to stir and ensure even cooking.
Remove the lid or foil and bake for an additional 10 minutes to thicken the sauce.
This step enhances the sauce's texture.
Serve the meatballs and sauce over cooked rice or egg noodles.
Garnish with fresh dill or a lemon wedge for added flavor.
