  1. Wonderful treat, a good comfort food on a rainy afternoon. I loved the rye bread and I followed the recipe but I took the other reviewers advice and added fresh nutmeg too. Served with egg noodles, yummy! ZWT3
     
  2. swedish, norwegian, what's in a name? this is probably dd4's favorite meal, she loves the gravy. if you're using canned beef stock try to get low sodium so it's not too salty. i also added some grated nutmeg, very easy to prepare.
