Recipe notes
Grating the onion with a cheese grater adds flavor while keeping the meatballs soft so that the cheese does not escape.
Dill pickle sauce:
Combine 1/4 cup Hellmann’s Real Mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons sour cream, 1 tablespoon chopped pickles, 1/4 teaspoon each dill and garlic powder. Add the juice from the pickles to achieve the desired consistency.
