Traditional Swedish Meatball Recipe Easy And Delicious 2

Instructions

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper. Mix well using your hands until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

2. Shape the meat mixture into small, bite-sized meatballs. To ensure uniform size, you can use a spoon or a cookie scoop. Place the meatballs on a plate or baking sheet as you shape them.

3. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Make sure not to overcrowd the skillet, so the meatballs cook evenly.

4. Once all the meatballs are cooked, remove them from the skillet and set them aside.

5. In the same skillet, sprinkle the flour over the remaining drippings. Cook, stirring constantly, for about 1-2 minutes to make a roux.

6. Slowly pour in the beef broth while stirring continuously to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it thickens slightly.

7. Stir in the heavy cream and return the meatballs to the skillet. Simmer gently for another 10-15 minutes, allowing the meatballs to soak up the creamy sauce.

8. Taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Add more salt and pepper if desired.

9. Serve the Swedish meatballs hot, garnished with chopped parsley. They pair perfectly with lingonberry jam, mashed potatoes, or buttered noodles for a complete and satisfying meal.
