Wow, that first review is pretty brutal. I don't think the reviewer even made these meatballs, but just attacked the tomato soup. Number 1, they are Norwegian not Swedish. Number 2, if you don't like the tomato soup, make up your own sauce. Number 3, there is no need to be rude. There are all kinds of people out there, some who enjoy the convenience of a prepared sauce or soup, others who would rather do everything from scratch, all of whom are capable of figuring out whether or not they want to use the product mentioned in the recipe or do something on their own. That review would have been more useful had they simply mentioned their preferred sauce - rather than attacking the recipe. <br/><br/>Personally, I thought the meatballs were divine. The added veal really makes a difference! I did make my own creamy brown sauce (similar to the cream of mushroom soup suggested) because I'm not a tomato soup person, but the sauce you use is secondary to the meatballs themselves. My Norwegian husband from Sturgeon Bay (also not a lutefisk fan) gave them a big thumbs up! <br/><br/>Thank you for posting this recipe! -
Swedish meatballs with Campbells Tomato Soup? You gotta be kidding. My swedish uncle is probably turning over in his grave. My aunt married a swede and learned to cook swedish. She made great meatballs with no tomato soup. Yech
