How to Make Alvera's Quick Sauerbraten Meatballs
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, gently combine 1 lb ground beef, 1/2 cup finely diced carrots, 1/2 cup finely diced onion, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp black pepper.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs on all sides.

- Pour the sauce over the browned meatballs in the skillet.
