Ingredients

– 1 pound ground beef
– 1 pound ground pork
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 1/2 cup finely chopped onion
– 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
– 2 cloves garlic, minced
– 1 large egg
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/2 teaspoon allspice
– 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
– 1/4 cup milk
– 2 tablespoons olive oil
– 2 tablespoons butter
– 2 cups beef broth
– 1 cup heavy cream
– 2 tablespoons flour
– Lingonberry sauce (for serving, optional)


Instructions

Making Swedish Meatballs at home is easier than you might think. Follow these steps to create this delicious dish:

1. Mix the Meat: In a large bowl, combine the ground beef and ground pork. Mix well until evenly blended.
2. Add Ingredients: To the meat, add the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped onion, parsley, minced garlic, egg, salt, black pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and milk. Mix until all ingredients are well combined.
3. Shape the Meatballs: With your hands, shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.
4. Brown the Meatballs: Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Brown them on all sides, about 5-7 minutes. Remove and set aside on a plate.
5. Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, add flour to the remaining fat and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly. Gradually whisk in beef broth, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet.
6. Add Cream: Once the mixture is smooth, stir in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer. Allow it to thicken slightly.
7. Return Meatballs to Skillet: Gently add the browned meatballs back into the skillet, ensuring they are coated in the gravy. Simmer for 5-10 minutes until heated through.
8. Serve: Remove from heat and serve the meatballs hot, drizzled with gravy and accompanied by lingonberry sauce if desired.

With these simple steps, you’ll have a plate of incredible Swedish Meatballs ready to enjoy!
