Ingredients: 1 pound ground beef; 1/2 pound ground pork; 1/2 cup breadcrumbs; 1/4 cup milk; 1 small onion, finely chopped; 2 cloves garlic, minced; 1 egg; 1 teaspoon salt; 1/2 teaspoon black pepper; 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg; 1/4 teaspoon allspice; 2 tablespoons butter; 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour; 2 cups beef broth; 1/2 cup heavy cream; Lingonberry sauce (store-bought or homemade)

Instructions

In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, garlic, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix until well combined.
Shape the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
Add the flour to the skillet and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the skillet. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer gently for 15-20 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
Stir in the heavy cream and cook for an additional 5 minutes, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
Serve the Swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce spooned over the top. Enjoy with mashed potatoes, noodles, or lingonberry jam on the side for an authentic Scandinavian meal.
