Simple Swedish Meatballs

"I got this recipe from my mother (like most of my good ones), and I changed it a little to suit us."

 

• Ready In: 55mins
• Ingredients: 13
• Serves: 4-6

ingredients

• 1 beaten egg
• 1⁄4 cup milk
• 3⁄4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1⁄2 cup finely chopped onion
• 1 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1⁄8 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 8 ounces ground pork
• 8 ounces ground beef
• 1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 3 tablespoons beef bouillon granules
• 3 cups milk (skim works fine for lower fat)
• 1 (8 ounce) package egg noodles

directions

1. Mix egg and milk, then add breadcrumbs, onion, parsley and pepper. Mix with the ground meats and shape into balls (I get around 20 or so).
2. Cook meatballs in a pan 1/2 at a time over medium heat until browned evenly on all sides (about 10 minutes).
3. Replace all meatballs into a deep skillet or dutch oven type pot. Add flour, bullion and about 1 1/2 cups of the milk, stirring over medium low heat, adding the remaining milk gradually, about 1/2 cup at a time, as the sauce begins to thicken.
4. Cook until all the milk is incorporated and sauce is thickened. Serve over hot noodles.

These were awesome!!!! Most Sweedish meatball recpies have a bunch of spices in them that I don't care for. These were absolutely perfect. We practically inhaled them. Served them with egg noodles. Delicious. Thanks for this great recipe.

I found that this recipe used ingredients I commonly have on hand. I made three changes to the recipe. I used 1 pound ground pork instead of the combo of pork and beef. (My husband did not know the difference). I also used savory spice instead of parsley which added nice flavor. I also used 1 cup less milk, which allowed me to have still the same great flavor, but a little less sauce. (My personal preference). Easy recipe over all!
