to the lady with 3 ingredient swedish meat balls.l doesnt sour cream curdle when cooked for 5 hrs. I was always taught to put in last minute
prudentpennypincher.com says
As long as they are mixed together with other ingredients like gravy or cream of soups, they won’t curdle. I’ve tried it before and it didn’t curdle.
Shelley Malskis says
My 3 ingredient Swedish meatballs recipe is frozen meatballs, condensed mushroom soup and brown gravy packet.
Mix together the gravy packet with soup and a little water if needed. Pour over meatballs and cook for 4 hours on high.
