Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use a combination of ground beef and pork.
- Use fresh, good-quality bread crumbs. If you don't have any on hand, you can make your own by toasting and then grinding white bread.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the pan when browning the meatballs. If you do, they will steam instead of brown.
- Use a good quality beef broth, to ensure the sauce is flavorful. You can also use chicken broth or vegetable broth, if you prefer.
- Add a dollop of sour cream or crème fraîche to the sauce just before serving, for a creamy, tangy flavor.
- Serve the Swedish meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
