These meatballs were a bit too dense for my taste. I think I would use a different recipe next time.

This is my go-to recipe for Swedish meatballs. They are always a crowd-pleaser, and they are so easy to make. I love that I can make them ahead of time and reheat them when I'm ready to serve.

I made a few minor changes to the recipe, such as using ground turkey instead of beef and pork, and adding a bit of Dijon mustard to the sauce. The meatballs still turned out great, and my family loved them.
