Swedish Meatballs Recipe

Swedish Meatballs are a classic recipe. This recipe makes the best rich creamy sauce your family will love.

My infatuation with Swedish Meatballs began during a chaotic time in our life when Colt and his good friend Eric got together and decided we should remodel our kitchen.

It all started with talk of new counter tops and floors. 

Then the next thing I know Colt and Eric send in my good friend Lisa (Eric's wife) to convince me if we were going to do the kitchen it had to be the whole shebang, cabinets and all.

As quickly as I agreed my kitchen was demolished, and no longer existed. 

We were washing dishes in the bath tub and cooking microwave dinners for the next 3 weeks of which Swedish Meatballs became my favorite.

I can't believe the boys had worked from the time they got off of work until the wee hours of the morning to get my kitchen reassembled.

A few years later I set out on the conquest for the perfect Swedish Meatballs, something so much better then the frozen dinners we ate.

These are sure to hit the spot and are even better than the iconic Ikea Swedish Meatballs.

To make the Swedish Meatballs mix together:

• 3/4 pound Lean Ground Beef
• 3/4 pound Ground Pork
• 1 whole Egg
• 1/3 cup Finely Chopped Onion
• 1 pinch Nutmeg
• 1 pinch Allspice
• 1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
• 3/4 teaspoon Salt
• 1/2 teaspoon Black Pepper

Mix until well combined. Roll meat into 1 1/2" balls.

Combine :

• 1/3 cup All-Purpose Flour 
• 1/4 teaspoon Salt

Add meatballs to flour, and roll until coated.

Keep remaining flour for sauce.

Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pan.

Fry meatballs in 2-3 batches until brown on both sides. 

Remove meatballs to an oven safe dish and place in a 250 degree oven.

Add an additional 1 tablespoon butter to pan. Sprinkle remaining flour from rolling meatballs over melted butter.

Stir until flour starts to cook and bubble over medium heat.

Slowly stir in 2 1/4 cup Beef Stock and bring to a simmer. 

Reduce heat to medium-low add meatballs and cook for 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and allow to cool for about 1-2 minute to keep the cream from curdling.  

Add 1/3 cup Half & Half or Cream, and stir until well combined.

Top with chopped parsley to garnish.

By now your house should be smelling amazing and neighbors might be randomly showing up on your door step for dinner.

I take no responsibility for surprise guests.

We usually enjoy them over the top of noodles, but mashed potatoes are delicious too. If you have the time,  over the top of Homemade Egg Noodles is the all time best!
