These Versatile Meatballs with Mushroom Dill Sauce were made by my Mom. The recipe comes from a Church or community cookbook, and it was a base meatball recipe, with different sauces that you could use with them. I think this dill sauce sounds fantastic. By using gluten-free bread crumbs, and a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup, this dish can be enjoyed by Celiacs as well.
NOTE: If you are in Canada and looking for a gluten-free cream of mushroom soup, the No-Name Low Fat Cream of Mushroom soup at Superstore (Loblaws) is gluten-free! Being able to use that ingredient in cooking has expanded the number of dishes that I can prepare. If you have a Superstore near you, go check it out and stock up! 🙂 But ALWAYS read the labels, as manufacturers’ can change the ingredients without notifying us.

These look wonderful. I love dill in anything and this does look like a winning combination.

It's my my "to try" list too, I love dill as well. Just seems like I don't use it enough.
BTW, I still think of you every time we buy New Bothwell cheese…we found out that our little local corner store (that sells it FRESH), sells between 800 & 900 lbs of the fresh cheddar cheese a week (they also supply funerals, and cheese is a must at a funeral). I found that interesting, and thought I'd share. 🙂 Hope you guys are doing well, even with the rain & ice we had yesterday.

Ah dill sauce! Sounds so good. I love meatballs b/c you can ‘flavor’ them in so many ways. I’ll have to try this recipe, looks like tasty comfort food :).

I’ve been looking through your recipes and can’t wait to try some of them. I’m glad to hear that there is a Gluten Free Cream of Mushroom Soup available, before I was diagnosed with celiacs I used to eat and use a lot of it, I can’t wait till I can get some, hopefully it is available at Extra Foods cause there is no Super Store near here, we are over 2 hours away from a city…. small town Saskatchewan, gotta love it!!
Also what can one use as a substitute for Beef Stock, I haven’t found any gf around here, and I always used beef stock in my stew and when cooking a roast.
Thanks for the great recipes and your blog!!

Hi Gwen,
I used to use quite a bit mushroom soup before too, but now I rarely do. I guess things just change. 🙂 As for the beef stock – the low sodium No Name beef stock from Superstore is also gluten-free. I think I heard that Costco also has gluten-free stock now.
Small town SK, I totally relate – I lived small town MB up until 3 years ago. 🙂
