  2. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the sauce begins to bubble.
  3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the meatballs are heated through and the sauce has thickened slightly.
  4. Stir in 1/2 cup sour cream. Cover and heat for another 2-3 minutes, or until heated through and the sour cream is incorporated. Do not boil.
