Note
Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently on the stovetop with a splash of milk to restore creaminess.
Substitutions: You can use turkey or chicken meatballs instead of beef for a lighter option. If you prefer a thinner sauce, add more milk; for a thicker sauce, add a tablespoon of flour mixed with water.
Variations: Add saut&# 195;©ed mushrooms or green peas to the sauce for extra texture and nutrients. A dash of Worcestershire sauce can enhance the savory depth of the gravy.
Tip: Do not boil the sauce vigorously after adding the sour cream, as high heat can cause it to curdle. Keep the heat low when combining the final ingredients.
