THE QUICKEST SWEDISH MEATBALL RECIPE
My mother who is Swedish hates when I make this quick dish (she spends all day making Swedish Meatballs) but all the girls at work love it and always ask me to make it. I don't tell them how quick it is. Sometimes I do make my own meatballs and then throw them into the crock pot for this very quick and delicious dish.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a combination of ground beef and pork. You can also use all beef or all pork, but the combination of the two meats gives the meatballs a more complex flavor.
- Use fresh breadcrumbs in the meatballs. This will help to keep them light and fluffy.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Cook the meatballs in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. This will help to prevent them from sticking to the pan.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the meatballs. This will also help to prevent them from sticking together.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the meatballs are cooked through. The internal temperature of the meatballs should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the Swedish meatballs with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or lingonberry jam.
Conclusion:
Swedish meatballs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal or a special occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a meal that your family and friends will love.
