CRAVE-WORTHY SWEDISH MEATBALLS
This Swedish meatballs recipe makes juicy and flavorful meatballs with a creamy, rich, and crave-worthy sauce. If you prefer, you can serve the meatballs without the gravy. We love serving these with mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower), buttered noodles, and roasted vegetables are excellent options. We also highly recommend a spoonful of lingonberry jam. For the gravy, we add a few unconventional ingredients. Soy sauce seasons, mustard adds a little zing, and lemon zest brightens up the flavors of the dish.

Steps:
- In a small bowl, tear or chop the bread into small pieces then cover with the milk. Set aside.
- Melt one tablespoon of butter in a wide skillet. Add the onions and cook until soft, but not brown; 3 to 4 minutes. Stir in the black pepper, allspice, garlic powder, cayenne pepper, nutmeg, and the mustard. Cook, stirring everything around the pan for 30 seconds. Transfer to a bowl to cool, and then wipe the skillet mostly clean with a paper towel so that it is ready for cooking the meatballs.
- Combine the beef, pork, bread and milk mixture, and the egg in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment (or large food processor). When the onions are warm, not hot, add them to the bowl as well.
- Evenly sprinkle the salt over the top of the mixture then beat for about 30 seconds, scrape the sides of the bowl, then beat another 30 seconds to a minute until the mixture looks very well blended. (If you are using a food processor, you may need to stop the processor one more time to move the mixture around a bit.)
- Form the mixture into meatballs; we like using a medium cookie scoop that holds about 1 1/2 tablespoons - you should get around 30 meatballs. Move onto cooking or cover and refrigerate up to a day or freeze them (see notes section for our tips).
- Heat the oven to 200 degrees Fahrenheit. Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment. (It's likely you will cook the meatballs in batches. A warm oven helps to keep cooked meatballs hot while you finish cooking all of the meatballs.)
- Melt half a tablespoon of butter in the pan used to cook the onions over medium-low heat. Add meatballs and cook, turning every few minutes, until brown on all sides and cooked through; 8 to 10 minutes. It's unlikely all of the meatballs will fit so you will need to do this in batches (or use two pans). Add more butter to the pan as needed.
- Transfer cooked meatballs to the baking sheet and place into the warm oven.
- After cooking the meatballs, make the gravy in the same pan. Depending on how much fat is left in the pan after cooking the meatballs, you may need to remove some or add a little bit of butter. You will need about three tablespoons of fat in the pan.
- Decrease the heat to low then scatter the flour over the fat in the pan and whisk until medium blonde in color, about 2 minutes. While whisking, slowly add the broth. Continue to whisk until the gravy begins to thicken. Add the cream and continue to cook until the sauce thickens enough to coat the meatballs, another minute or so.
- Whisk in the soy sauce, mustard, and lemon zest. Taste then adjust with salt and pepper, as needed. Remove the meatballs from the oven and add to the gravy. Serve with parsley scattered on top.

SCANDI-STYLE MEATBALLS WITH GRAVY
Serve meatballs Scandi-style with creamy gravy and sweet jam. Lingonberry jam can be hard to come by so we've made cranberry sauce here instead
Provided by Cassie Best
Categories Dinner
Time 45m
Number Of Ingredients 18
Steps:
- Soak the breadcrumbs in the milk for 10 mins, or until the milk has been absorbed.
- Combine the beef, pork, allspice, pepper, flour, Worcestershire sauce and 1 tsp salt in a large bowl, add the milk-soaked breadcrumbs and use your hands to squash everything together for a few minutes until well combined. Roll the mixture into meatballs about the size of a cherry tomato. Chill for at least 30 mins. Will keep covered and chilled for up to 24 hrs, or frozen for up to two months.
- Make the berry sauce by cooking the cranberries and sugar in a small saucepan over a medium heat with a splash of water for 5-8 mins until the berries have burst and the sauce looks syrupy and glossy. Add a little more water if it becomes too thick. Leave to cool.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4 and have a baking tray to hand. Heat a drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over a medium heat. Cook the meatballs, in batches if needed, for 8-10 mins until nicely browned on all sides. Transfer to the baking tray and bake in the oven for another 10 mins while you make the gravy.
- Melt the butter in the same frying pan you fried the meatballs in (no need to wash it first) and stir in the flour. Sizzle for a minute or two, then slowly add the stock, whisking to make a smooth sauce. Bubble for 2-3 mins to allow the gravy to thicken, then add the cream and Worcestershire sauce and some seasoning. Tip the meatballs back into the sauce, scatter with the dill and serve with mash or chips, if you like, and the cranberry sauce.

Tips:
- Choose the right ground meat: A combination of ground beef and pork is ideal for meatballs, as it provides a good balance of flavor and texture. You can also use all beef or all pork, but the meatballs may be a bit drier or less flavorful.
- Use fresh bread crumbs: Fresh bread crumbs will help to keep the meatballs moist and tender. You can make your own bread crumbs by tearing bread into small pieces and then processing them in a food processor until they are fine.
- Add some moisture: To prevent the meatballs from becoming dry, add some moisture to the meatball mixture. This can be done by adding an egg, milk, or broth. You can also add some grated vegetables, such as onion, carrot, or zucchini.
- Season the meatballs well: Make sure to season the meatballs well with salt, pepper, and other spices. You can also add some herbs, such as parsley, basil, or oregano.
- Cook the meatballs thoroughly: Cook the meatballs until they are browned on all sides and cooked through. This will help to ensure that they are safe to eat.
- Serve the meatballs with your favorite sauce: Meatballs can be served with a variety of sauces, such as tomato sauce, gravy, or barbecue sauce. You can also serve them with mashed potatoes, rice, or noodles.
Conclusion:
These speedy meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for a quick weeknight dinner or for a party appetizer. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a dish that everyone will love.
