Swedish meatballs
Swedish meatballs is a traditional Swedish dish made of seasoned ground meat, often a mix of pork and beef, formed into small meatballs. They are typically served with a creamy gravy and lingonberry sauce. They are flavorful and delicious, perfect for serving as a main dish or appetizer.
Ingredients
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 lb ground pork
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 1 egg
- 1/2 tablespoon ground allspice
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoon butter
- 2 tablespoon flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- Lingonberry sauce (optional, for serving)

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!
