SWEDISH MEATBALLS (FROM A SWEDE!)
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.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.
- Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl along with the milk. Set aside.
- In a 12-inch straight sided saute pan over medium heat, melt 1 tablespoon of the butter. Add the onion and a pinch of salt and sweat until the onions are soft. Remove from the heat and set aside.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the bread and milk mixture, ground chuck, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and onions. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Using a scale, weigh meatballs into 1-ounce portions and place on a sheet pan. Using your hands, shape the meatballs into rounds.
- Heat the remaining butter in the saute pan over medium-low heat, or in an electric skillet set to 250 degrees F. Add the meatballs and saute until golden brown on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. Remove the meatballs to an ovenproof dish using a slotted spoon and place in the warmed oven.
- Once all of the meatballs are cooked, decrease the heat to low and add the flour to the pan or skillet. Whisk until lightly browned, approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add the beef stock and whisk until sauce begins to thicken. Add the cream and continue to cook until the gravy reaches the desired consistency. Remove the meatballs from the oven, cover with the gravy and serve.

Cook for 2 mins, then slowly whisk in the stock. Keep whisking until it is a thick gravy, then return the meatballs to the pan and heat through. Sprinkle with dill and serve with cranberry jelly, greens and mash.

Tips:
- Use high-quality ground beef. The better the beef, the better the meatballs will be. Look for ground beef that is at least 80% lean.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the meatball mixture before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape. Chill for at least 30 minutes, or up to overnight.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the meatballs. This will prevent the meatballs from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
- Brown the meatballs in a little bit of oil before adding the sauce. This will help develop flavor and prevent the meatballs from falling apart.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to cook through.
- Serve the meatballs over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Conclusion:
Swedish meatballs are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and always a hit. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect Swedish meatballs every time. So next time you're looking for a hearty and satisfying meal, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
