Directions

Add seasoning to beef and mix well to combine.
Divide mixture into 20 even portions and roll into balls.
Place a nonstick pan over medium high heat and add the meatballs once pan has come to temperature.
Cook for 15-20 minutes, turning meatballs every 2-3 minutes so they brown equally on all sides.
While beef is cooking, make the sauce by combining the yogurt and Citrus Dill seasoning together. Stir well & keep in fridge until ready to eat.
When meatballs are finished (internal temperature of 160 F) place on a plate and serve hot with sauce.
