In a large skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in beef broth. Bring to a simmer and cook until thickened, about 3-5 minutes. Remove from heat. Stir in sour cream and Worcestershire sauce. Mix until smooth.

Let the breadcrumb mixture rest so it can absorb the milk fully for the best meatball texture.
