Swedish Meatballs
This recipe comes from my mother-in-law’s recipe box and it’s one of my husband’s all- time favorite dinners. It’s a little different than the famous Ikea style meatballs and gravy but it’s all kinds of delicious!
How to Make Swedish Meatballs:
- Combine seasonings for meatballs: onion flakes, black pepper, kosher salt, smoked paprika, Italian seasonings and brown sugar.
- Mix lean ground beef with eggs, Worcestershire sauce and seasonings.
- Scoop into meatballs. Cook in olive oil over medium- high heat, turning to brown on all sides.
- Lower to simmer.
- Mix tomato soup, cream of mushroom soup and Worcestershire sauce together. Pour over browned meatballs and stir to combine. Whisk in 1 cup water if you would like a thinner sauce.
- Simmer for 10 – 15 minutes, stirring often.
- Serve over garlic mashed potatoes.
If you prefer to bake your meatballs, place them on a baking sheet and bake at 375° for 15 minutes and then simmer in sauce.
Can you freeze meatballs?
Meatballs are classic comfort food and always a family favorite. You can make a double batch and freeze half of the cooked meatballs to make an easy dinner in a hurry.
Place cooled meatballs in a zip top freezer bag and freeze in a single layer. Then add them to your favorite sauce for an easy dinner.
