Meatballs baked in tomato and sour cream sauce

The recipe for these meatballs was born by accident - I had to utilize the leftover boiled rice, I had minced pork and calf meat in my stash and had no time to stand at the stove. So I made meatballs out of minced meat and rice and, without frying, put them in a baking dish, poured sauce over them and sent them to the oven. The aroma that soon began to spread throughout the apartment suggested that it could not be unpalatable, which eventually proved to be true. Cooking these meatballs turned out to be very simple and quick, the meatballs are very tasty and, moreover, more healthy than their pre-fried in a frying pan "brothers".
