Tips for Making Swedish Meatballs:

- Use high-quality ground beef and pork for the meatballs. A blend of 80% beef and 20% pork is a good option. - Mix the ground meat with breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, garlic, and herbs and spices. Be careful not to overmix the meat, as this can make the meatballs tough. - Form the meatballs into small, 1-inch rounds. You can use a spoon or a meatball scoop to help you do this. - Brown the meatballs in a large skillet over medium heat. Make sure to brown them all over. - Transfer the browned meatballs to a slow cooker. Add the sauce ingredients and cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through. - Serve the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also serve them on a bed of lettuce, with a side of lingonberry jam. ###
