Instructions

In a large bowl, mix together the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, allspice, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the remaining drippings and whisk to make a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth and heavy cream until smooth. Bring to a simmer.
Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Swedish meatballs hot with lingonberry sauce on the side, along with mashed potatoes or noodles.
Enjoy!
