Ingredients

To make Swedish meatballs, you will need the following ingredients:

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground pork
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 egg
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon allspice
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

Instructions

1. In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, onion, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well until all the ingredients are incorporated.

2. Using your hands, form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 10 minutes. You may need to work in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

4. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.

5. Add the flour to the pan and whisk until it is well combined with the butter. Cook for 1-2 minutes, whisking constantly.

6. Slowly pour in the beef broth, whisking constantly to prevent lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until it has thickened slightly, about 5 minutes.

7. Add the heavy cream and stir until it is well incorporated. Continue to cook for another 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and reduced slightly.

8. Return the meatballs to the pan and spoon the sauce over them. Cook for another 5-10 minutes, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is hot.

9. Serve the meatballs and sauce hot, with mashed potatoes or lingonberry jam on the side.
