Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray baking sheet with non-stick cooking spray.
Place all meatball ingredients in a bowl; mix thoroughly. Form into balls about 1 1/2 inches thick; place on prepared baking sheet. Bake 30 minutes. Remove from baking sheet; drain off grease.
French Onion Meatball Sauce:
Start the sauce while the meatballs are still in the oven. Then, in a large, deep skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat; add onions, mushrooms, and pepper; cook until tender. When vegetables are tender, add in 1 c. chicken stock, cream and then the flour, whisking in the flour to evenly thicken. When sauce is thick and creamy, stir in the French Onion Dip.
Place sauce in the blender, and pulse it about 3 times to get veggies into smaller pieces. When pureed, add sauce back to the skillet; place the baked meatballs in sauce.
Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to eat.
