Yield 45 meatballs, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/3 cup minced white onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
kosher salt
fresh ground white pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb ground lean pork
1 large egg, plus one egg white, beaten
vegetable oil (for brushing)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low sodium beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream
kosher salt
fresh ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
ligonberry jam (Swedish style of serving)

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: Put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, allspice, 2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoons white pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Pour the milk mixture over the breadcrumbs and stir to make a thick paste; let cool. Add the beef, pork, egg and egg white to the bowl and mix until combined.
  • Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Roll the meat into 1" balls and arrange on the prepared baking sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the meatballs until cooked through, about 20 minutes.
  • Make the gravy: Melt the butter in a large skillet over a medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth. Whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and meatballs. Reduce the heat to medium low and simmer until the gravy thickens, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Transfer to a serving dish; sprinkle with the parsley. Serve with Ligonberry ja, if desired.

Number Of Ingredients 22

For the meatballs:
Servings: 45 meatballs
1 cup breadcrumbs (I used unseasoned panko)
2 tbs unsalted butter
1/3 cup minced white onion
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 tsp ground allspice
Kosher salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
3/4 lb lean ground beef
1/2 lb lean ground pork
1 large egg plus 1 egg white, beaten
vegetable oil for brushing
For the gravy:
2 tbs unsalted butter
2 tbs all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1/4 cup heavy cream (I used light; it works great)
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tbs chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Make the meatballs: put the breadcrumbs in a large bowl. Heat the butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, garlic, allspice, 2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp white pepper and cook, stirring, until soft, about 5 minutes. Add the milk and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer. Pour the milk mixture over the bread crumbs and stir to make a thick paste; let cool. Add the beef, pork, egg and egg white to the bowl and mix until combined. Brush a baking sheet with vegetable oil. Roll the meat into 1-inch balls and arrange on the prepared sheet. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate at least 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Bake the meatballs until cooked through, about 20 minutes. Make the gravy: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, whisking, until smooth, about 2 minutes. Whisk in the beef broth and Worcestershire a little at a time and bring to a simmer. Add the cream and the meatballs. Cover and simmer about 10 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley.

Tips:

  • Use a combination of ground beef and pork for the meatballs. This will give them a more flavorful and juicy texture.
  • Soak the bread crumbs in milk before adding them to the meatball mixture. This will help to bind the meatballs together and prevent them from becoming dry.
  • Season the meatball mixture generously with salt, pepper, and other spices. This will help to give them a delicious flavor.
  • Cook the meatballs in a skillet over medium heat until they are browned on all sides. This will help to seal in the juices and prevent them from drying out.
  • Transfer the meatballs to a slow cooker and cover them with the sauce. Cook on low for 6-8 hours, or until the meatballs are cooked through.
  • Serve the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. You can also garnish them with fresh parsley or lingonberry jam.
