Swedish meatballs are moist and flavorful and have a unique taste from adding nutmeg and allspice. If you’ve ever been to IKEA and had their delicious Swedish meatballs, this is very similar to those. I just need to figure out how to make lingonberry sauce! I serve these on mashed potatoes with a veggie on the side for a delicious meal. 

Traditionally Swedish meatballs are made with both beef and pork and that’s how I like to do it. Adding the breadcrumbs and milk to the meat gives it a texture that’s similar to Salisbury steak which I love. 

Ingredients Needed:

• ground beef
• ground pork 
• panko breadcrumbs 
• onion
• eggs
• whole milk
• allspice
• nutmeg
• garlic powder
• pepper
• salt
• olive oil
• butter
• flour
• beef broth
• heavy cream 
• Worcestershire sauce 
• Dijon Mustard 
• fresh parsley, dried can work too 

How to Make Swedish Meatballs: 

• Mix all the meatball ingredients together in a bowl. I use my hands because it’s just easier to combine it all. 
• Shape the meat mixture into 4o small meatballs, around 1” in size. 
• Heat up a large skillet, add about 1 tbsp of the olive oil and 1 tbsp of butter and then add the meatballs. Cook evenly on all sides. 
• Remove cooked meatballs and place on a pan. 
• In the same skillet, make the gravy.
• Return the meatballs back to the gravy.
• Simmer till heated through. 
• Serve and Enjoy! 

This is a great family friendly meal that the kids love. Here’s a couple other recipes that your family will also enjoy: 

• Cheesy Chicken Spaghetti
• Lasagna Soup
• Beefy Noodles 

Happy Eating!
