Swedish Meatballs (From a Swede!) image

This is my mom's Swedish meatball recipe. This isn't the kind a lot of people are used to in a creamy white sauce. She served them every Christmas Eve in a chafing dish as part of the 'Smörgåsbord.' My mom used to have a vegetable sour cream and a lingonberry sauce on the table for those that might want to dip these in something.

Time 50m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon minced onion
⅓ cup fine dry bread crumbs
½ cup water
½ cup half-and-half
¾ pound ground beef
¼ pound ground pork
2 teaspoons salt
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
⅓ teaspoon white sugar
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a frying pan over low heat; cook and stir onion in melted butter until lightly browned, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Mix bread crumbs, water, and half-and-half in a large bowl; let stand for about 2 minutes. Stir cooked onion, ground beef, ground pork, salt, white pepper, and sugar into bread crumb mixture until thoroughly mixed. Shape mixture into about 48 very small meatballs.
  • Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a skillet; add meatballs. Brown slowly, allowing about 25 minutes, until meatballs are fully cooked in the middle and no longer pink. Shake pan occasionally to cook evenly.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my meatballs turned out really dry. I'll have to try again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my meatballs didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked them.

The meatballs were delicious, but the sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste. I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
