My great grandparents immigrated to the states in 1908 from Sweden and this is the recipe that has been past down through 4 generation here in the states. Hope you enjoy it.

Steps:
- 1. In a large bowl combine ground meats,salt,spices saltines, minced onion, eggs and cream, mix very well, cover and refrigerate over night so flavors blend through.
- 2. Remove mixture from fridge, and portion into rolled meatballs ( grandma made walnut sized ones, mine are about golf ball size...less rolling, lol )
- 3. In a large frying pan add 1/2 cup light olive oil or canola oil over medium heat, add meatballs, do not over crowd pan and brown on all sides ( I cook about 10 at a time ) be care not to have heat so high the the little bits that stick to pan burn. Continue ti;; all meatballs are cooked. Place in a casserole dish and keep warm in oven while making gravy.
- 4. For the gravy: add 1/2 flour to fat in pan,whisk constantly till lite brown, add low sodium beef broth gradually, whisking as you go till smooth,bring to simmer, then pour over meatballs.
- 5. We always served this with whipped potatoes, green beans and Lingonberry preserves... cranberry sauce is very close in flavor to lingonberry.
