I use either jarred grated horseradish or 'homemade' grated horseradish
purchased at the Polish festival. The horseradish sauce I do not use is the
stuff premade for sandwiches, which like you stated, is mayo based. I
missread the original question and thought you were questioning subbing the
soup for a a gravy sauce, which in my opinion, wouldn't hurt it. However,
mixing a mayo based sauce in the meat balls might make them too greasy and
unable to hold their shape when cooking.
