CLASSIC SWEDISH MEATBALLS
I'm a "Svenska flicka" (Swedish girl) from northwest Iowa, where many Swedes settled at the turn of the century. This recipe was given to me by a Swedish friend. It's obviously a 20th century version of a 19th century favorite, since back then they didn't have bouillon cubes or evaporated milk! I think you'll agree that these modern-day "Kottbullar" are very tasty. -Emily Gould, Hawarden, Iowa

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F.

Tips:
- Use a combination of ground beef and pork. This will give the meatballs a more flavorful and moist texture.
- Don't overmix the meatball mixture. Overmixing will make the meatballs tough.
- Chill the meatball mixture for at least 30 minutes before cooking. This will help the meatballs hold their shape.
- Use a large skillet or Dutch oven to cook the meatballs. This will prevent them from overcrowding and sticking to each other.
- Brown the meatballs in butter or oil before adding the sauce. This will give them a nice crust and help to keep them moist.
- Simmer the meatballs in the sauce for at least 30 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld and the meatballs to become fully cooked.
- Serve the meatballs with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
