This recipe is from my Seaward Inn Cookbook. My husband loves it so much that I am putting it on-line to reference while travelling. I serve it with egg noodles. The Seaward Inn is a lovely place in Rockport, MA, that we visited each summer while the Campbell family owned it. Great food and ambience!

OVEN-BAKED SWEDISH MEATBALLS

OVEN-BAKED SWEDISH MEATBALLS image

Categories Beef Bake

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 lb. very lean ground beef (less than 10% fat)
1 pkg. (12 oz.) low-fat pork sausage (I used Jimmy Dean 50% less fat sausage)
1 onion, diced very small
1 T garlic puree (also called ground garlic)
1/2 tsp. Veg-Sal or 1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. white pepper
1/2 tsp. ground ginger
1/2 tsp. ground cardamom
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
(Anne's recipe had cinnamon which I was out of)

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400 F. Use food processor to finely chop onion. Put meat in mixing bowl and allow to come to room temperature, then mix in onions, garlic, salt, pepper, ginger, cardamom, and allspice. Mix with your hands until spices are well distributed and pork and beef are well combined. Mist pan or grilling rack with olive oil. Use a tablespoon to measure out meat, forming small meatballs by rolling with your hands and placing them on the rack as you go. Bake until meatballs are slightly browned and cooked through, 20-30 minutes. (It took longer than I thought it would to get them cooked through. Maybe I made mine a little too big.) Serve hot.

Tips:

Use a combination of ground beef and pork: This will give the meatballs a richer flavor and juicier texture.
Make sure the meatball mixture is well-seasoned: Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the meatballs, such as salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika.
Don't overmix the meatball mixture: Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking: This will help the meatballs hold their shape.
Use a large baking dish to cook the meatballs: This will prevent the meatballs from overcrowding and sticking together.
Bake the meatballs at a high temperature: This will help them brown and cook through quickly.
Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Such as a tomato sauce, a gravy, or a lingonberry jam.

Conclusion:

These oven-baked Swedish meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight dinner or a special occasion. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying meal, give these meatballs a try!
