Swedish Meatballs Recipe - (4.4/5) image

Provided by Lovetocook-3

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup finely chopped Red Onion, plus 1/2 cup (for sauce)
4 1/2 tbls unsalted Butter
1 lb ground Beef
1 lb ground Sausage Meat (or Pork)
Salt & Pepper
1/4 tsp Allspice
1/8 tsp Nutmeg
1 cup Breadcrumbs
3/4 cup Half & Half plus 3/4 cup (for sauce)
1 large Egg, lightly beaten
4 tbls Flour
32 oz box reduced sodium Beef Broth
1/4 cup cranberry sauce (or red current jelly)

Steps:

  • In a skillet over medium-high heat, sauté 1 cup of onion in 1 ½ tbls of the butter until soft. Let aside to cool. In a medium mixing bowl combine Beef, Pork 1½ tsp salt ½ tsp pepper, allspice, nutmeg and the cooled onion. In a small bowl combine breadcrumbs with the Half & Half, then add to meat mixture along with the beaten egg. Mix well with your hands to thoroughly combine. Using a tablespoon measure, mold mixture into small meatballs and place on a lined baking pan. Heat ½ tbls of the butter in a medium skillet until foamy. Add 1/3 of the meatballs and cook, turning frequently until browned on all sides. Transfer cooked meatballs to a Dutch Oven or large saucepan and repeat with remaining meatballs adding another ½ tbls butter to the skillet before each batch. When completed, add remaining 1½ tbls butter and the ½ onion to skillet and sauté until soft. Add the four and cook stirring for 2 min. Whisk in the beef broth little by little and cook until sauce is smooth and thick (about 4 min). Add the remaining half & half, S&P and the cranberry sauce. Add sauce to the meatballs in the large saucepan and bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Stir very gently so the meatballs do not break up. Cook, uncovered for around 1 hour until meatballs are very tender and sauce is thick and flavorful. Serve over noodles or as an appetizer.

These meatballs were a bit bland for my taste. I added some additional spices to the sauce and they were much better. I would recommend this recipe if you like your meatballs on the milder side.

These meatballs were easy to make and very flavorful. I used ground turkey instead of beef and they were still very good. I will definitely be making these again.

These meatballs were good, but not great. The sauce was a bit too sweet for my taste and the meatballs were a little dry. I would not make this recipe again.
