All mixed and ready to go in the oven. I intend to freeze them.

Could I add sour cream to the mix and still have them taste ok.

I ask because I have a tub of sour cream and probably won't use it all
before the due date.

Don't know about adding to meatballs but as long as the fridge is cold
things like sour cream and yogurt are good way beyond the use by date.

I think they'd taste ok with sour cream added, but I happen to really
like sour cream; The only problem I'd see is that it might make your
mix a bit soupy depending upon the amout you add, so you might need to
adjust the binder. Another alternative might be to use the sour cream
in a sauce over the meatballs, which is probably how I'd handle it.

Thanks. Yes, I often use a sauce of sourcream mix over meat balls. But I
would rather not freeze the sauce. I suspect it would go watery.

Are you going to freeze all of the meatballs? They're very good in a
stroganoff-type sauce. I'm thinking the sour cream would probably
separate if it were frozen.

I think you should freeze the meatballs naked and make the sauce when
you use them.

Use your sour cream for something else, like a sour cream coffee cake.

I froze the meatballs in 3 separate batches. Added a little bit of sour
cream to the mix - I'll make the sauce when I defrost the meatballs -
whenever that happens!

I get annoyed with myself because I buy the big tub of sour cream, then end
up throwing it out 'cause it has green mould.

Thanks. I did that.

Sour cream coffee cake sounds good.

Stupid question. But does it involve coffee?

Yeah, you eat it while drinking a nice hot cup.

I feel your pain... I used to do that too!

I _finally_ learned to get the little 8 oz. containers even tho' it
costs more per oz.

I figured I was not saving money if I nearly always ended up throwing
out 1/2 of the larger container when it went bad!

I've had to get used to cooking for just 2 people.

I forgot to add that google has lots of recipes there (it's pretty
standard) and if you don't have any sour cream on hand or want to
reduce fat/calories, yogurt is a great substitute. In fact, I prefer
using vanilla yogurt.
