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!

i really loved it. i didnt think it was too salty, but i did use low sodium soy sauce. next time i would double or even triple the recipe, because i like my meatballs to be swimming in sauce. served with mash and cranberry sauce.

This was good. I used the broth left in the pan from making homemade Swedish meatballs, and added about 1/3 cup chopped mushrooms. Yum. Will definitely use this sauce again next time I make Swedish meatballs.

I originally was going to make Swedish Meatballs from scratch for a girlfriends pot luck but time got tight and I needed a sauce for pre fab meatballs. This did the trip. My hubby hates pre-fab meatballs but he loved them with this sauce. So did my girlfriends, they absolutely raved over the sauce. Definitely the sauce I'll use when I make meatball again.

I thought the sauce lacked that depth of flavor that we remembered with traditional swedish meatball sauce. Close but no cigar...sorry!

Perfect - Just what I needed. My only advice to other chefs is to watch out for the salt. I used reduced sodium beef broth and reduced sodium soy sauce so I figured it would need salt and I added a bit. I'm not sure if it got salty when the sauce reduced and thickened or when I simmered the meatballs in the sauce (the meatballs were pretty well seasoned). Luckily it wasn't too salty and had a great taste. Just make sure to add the salt at the very end of cooking. I will definitely make this sauce many times in the future! So easy - Thanks!

Very good, I agree it's a little salty, though, and it didn't seem to want to thicken (I finally used some cornstarch & water.) Added dill & parsley and a little garlic salt. Def a keeper.

This was very good. I doubled the recipe and omitted the soy sauce on mistake, but it was still delicious. My husband didn't believe me that a gravy-type could be made without meat drippings. Now he knows. Thanks!

Loved it. I used beef base, no stock on hand and whipping cream (unwhipped) as my grocery store didn't have just cream. I also used black pepper since it was going over meatballs. It came out great everyone had 2nd helpings

This sauce helped to make a delicious and quick meal for 2. Homemade beef stock was used. Frozen meatballs were warmed for several minutes in the sauce to allow flavors to thoroughly blend and the finished product was served over brown rice with Seasoned Green Beans.

I used Herb Ox sodium free beef bouillon mixed with water (no beef stock on hand) and half and half instead of cream. I doubled the recipe. We loved it! It was a big hit with Swedish Turkey Meatballs Swedish Turkey Meatballs. I bet it's scrumptious with cream!! Thank you for posting this recipe, wizkid!

I doubled this and served it with frozen vegetarian "meat"balls. I also used vegetable stock instead of beef stock. I had a little trouble getting the sauce to thicken at all, so I added a bit of cornstarch, and it turned out fine. Simple, fast and delicious! Thanks!

This was wonderful! I tripled the recipe for a bunch of pre made meatballs. I added about 7 large chopped baby bellas to the stock while it was boiling. It is a keeper.

I had some Ikea meatballs on hand and thought I would try this (even though I had a pkg. of Ikea's sauce) and I have to say my family preferred this one. It was very simple to make and was delicious served over rice. Everyone said that they would like this again. Thanks!
