Delightful Swedish meatballs simmered in a creamy sauce, bringing warmth and comfort to your dinner table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup onion, finely chopped
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 tablespoon butter (for frying)
  • 1 cup beef broth
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon flour

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, onion, milk, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until well combined—don’t be afraid to get your hands into it!
  2. Form Meatballs: With your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
  3. Sauté Meatballs: In a skillet, heat butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 7-10 minutes.
  4. Set Meatballs Aside: Remove the meatballs and set them aside on a plate.
  5. Create the Sauce Base: In the same skillet, sprinkle flour over the remaining drippings and cook for 1 minute.
  6. Whisk in Beef Broth: Slowly whisk in beef broth and bring to a simmer, cooking until slightly thickened.
  7. Add Sour Cream and Meatballs: Stir in sour cream and return meatballs to the skillet. Let them simmer for another 10 minutes.
  8. Serve! Serve the meatballs warm with lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes.
