These Swedish meatballs are the ultimate comfort food.

With tender, juicy meatballs covered in a creamy, savory sauce served over mashed potatoes they’re sure to be an instant hit no matter what the crowd.

I say crowd, because this recipe makes plenty enough to share.

Swedish meatballs are rolled typically smaller than traditional meatballs so you get a lot of them with this recipe.

But trust me, that won’t be a problem. They will be eaten up before you know.

My family especially loves when I make this for them when the weather gets a little cooler.

There’s nothing better than a hot, stick to your ribs dinner like this on a cold night.

It’s an also super easy to make recipe, too. Everything can be done right in one skillet, too.

I hope you give this recipe a try. If you do, I know you’ll love them just as much as my family and I do.

Fast. Simple. Delicious.

Swedish Meatballs Ingredients

• Ground Beef
• Ground Pork
• Eggs
• Italian Seasoned Breadcrumbs
• Onion, minced
• Milk
• Fresh Parsley, chopped
• Oil (canola or vegetable)
• Butter
• Four
• Beef Broth
• Heavy Cream (room temperature)
• Sour Cream (room temperature)
• Worcestershire Sauce

• Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder

Instructions

First, in a large bowl, add the ground beef, pork, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk onion, parsley, salt, pepper and garlic powder.

Now, mix everything together until it’s evenly combined. Do not over mix the meatballs. They will become dense not fluffy.

Then, roll them into small meatballs about 2.5 inches big and set them aside.

Next, in a large lipped skillet, heat a little oil over medium high heat and add the meatballs.

Now, working in batches, pan fry the meatballs on all sides until they are golden brown.

Then, remove them from the pan and set them aside.

Next, add the butter and flour to the same pan and whisk them together for about 3 minutes.

Now, slowly whisk in the beef broth, heavy cream and sour cream.

Then, add the Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, pepper and garlic powder and whisk everything together until it’s nice and smooth.

Next, add the meatballs back into the pan and cover them in sauce.

Now, turn the heat down to low and let the meatballs simmer in the sauce for about 5 minutes.

Finally, garnish with more parsley, serve over mashed potatoes and enjoy!
