Provided by Elaine Benoit

Categories     Dinner

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 pound ground beef (grass-fed)
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1 egg
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground all spice
1 1/2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon tarragon ((dried))
1 teaspoon parsley ((dried))
1 tablespoon olive oil (to sauté meatballs)
3 tablespoons butter
3 tablespoons white flour
1 3/4 cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon parsley ((dried))
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
3/4 cup sour cream (3/4 to 1 cup - depending how thick you want it)

Steps:

  • Add all the meatball ingredients to a stainless steel bowl. Use your hands to mix together the meat. Roll meat into medium sized meatballs. Mine made 16
  • Heat sauté pan on medium and add oil. Once that heats up, place meatballs in pan and sauté for 10 - 12 minutes turning them every once in a while. Once they are done, turn the heat off under the pan
  • Add butter in a medium sauce pan and heat it on medium low. Once the butter has melted, add flour and whisk until it becomes a paste. Make sure to whisk at least for 1 minute
  • Add all the other ingredients for the sour cream sauce EXCEPT for the sour cream. Whisk together until it thickens somewhat - about 10 minutes
  • Turn heat off under pan and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes before adding the sour cream. Stir until combined
  • If you are putting these on zoodles - you can make them before starting the recipe
  • Turn the heat back on under the meatballs and add the sour cream sauce to the pan. Heat for 5 minutes. If you are having zoodles, sauté them in a big pan for 3 minutes
  • Plate zoodles
  • (Decide if you want your Swedish meatballs on your zoodles or on the side.) Ladle the meatballs with sour cream sauce on your zoodles
  • Serve
  • Eat
  • Enjoy

Provided by Jessica

Categories     Dinner Ideas

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 pound lean ground beef
1 pound ground pork
1 medium yellow onion, finely diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons whole milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/8 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons olive oil, for frying pan
1/3 cup unsalted butter
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups beef broth
3/4 cup heavy cream (or sour cream)
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce (or low-sodium soy sauce)
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper, to taste
sprinkle of finely chopped fresh parsley
garlic mashed potatoes

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork. Mix in all the other meatball ingredients by hand (except the olive oil) until well combined.
  • Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on a clean platter, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, if possible - this helps them retain their round shape when cooking.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches to avoid overcrowding, add the meatballs and cook, turning continuously until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
  • Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, whisk in the flour; stir to combine and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until no lumps remain and flour just begins to brown.
  • Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then the heavy cream. Whisk in the soy sauce and mustard; bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Add the meatballs back to the skillet and simmer for another 3 minutes to finish cooking and warm through.
  • Serve over mashed potatoes with a sprinkle of parsley.

  • Season the meatballs well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatballs, such as garlic, onion, parsley, oregano, and basil. You can also add a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
  • Cook the meatballs thoroughly. Brown the meatballs in a pan over medium heat until they are cooked through. You can also bake them in the oven at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes.
  • Make sure the cream sauce is thick enough. The cream sauce should be thick enough to coat the meatballs. If it is too thin, you can thicken it by adding a cornstarch slurry or a roux.
  • Serve the meatballs with your favorite sides. Meatballs with cream sauce can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, rice, or pasta.
