Wow!! this was great. I actually tripled the recipe for more sauce and added 1 shallot to sauce. I also added some dill and garlic powder.Everyone was raving about the sauce!!Thanks for a great recipe!!

I made this last night and we enjoyed it quite a lot. It doesn't taste exactly the same as the sauce at Ikea but comes pretty close. We had it with meatballs and pasta and it made for a simple but comforting meal. I guess it would be even better with homemade Swedish Meatballs so that you actually had some juices in the pan to swirl out (see step 1), but I had bought mine in the supermarket and it was still good.

YUM!!! Excellent sauce, I paired with Swedish Turkey Meatballs. I tripled the sauce to match the meatball recipe. An instant favorite in my house!
