Ikea Swedish Meatballs

potatoes

beef

pork

heavy cream

onion

salt

white pepper

allspice (optional)

flour

butter (divided use)

soy sauce

Worcestershire sauce

water

butter

Place potatoes into a large pot, add enough water to cover the potatoes.  cook potatoes over medium-high heat.  Cook potatoes for 8 to 10 minutes or until they are tender.   Drain, and set aside.&nbsp;

In a small skillet heat together 2 teaspoons of butter and chopped white onion.  Cook until tender, but do not let the onion brown.   In a large bowl combine ground beef, ground pork, 1 egg, heavy cream, cooked onion, salt, and white pepper.   Add 3/4 cup cooked potato to the bowl.  Use a mixer to combine the mixture.    Blend until the meatball mixture is smooth.

Form small balls out of the meat mixture.  Drop the meatballs into flour and roll gently in the flour.   Cook the meatballs in a large skillet with a tablespoon of butter.   Turn the meatballs every few minutes while cooking so they cook evenly.   Cook the meatballs for 15 minutes or until done.   The meatballs will be browned on all sides when they are finished.&nbsp;

To make the gravy, you may need to add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet.  Add 2 tablespoons of flour to the skillet.  Cook the roux for about two minutes.  Add the water and the heavy cream to the roux stir continually over medium heat.  The sauce will thicken.  Add soy sauce and Worcestershire sauce to the gravy.  Cook and heat through.&nbsp;

For the remaining potatoes not used in the meatballs, you can make mashed potatoes out of them.  Place warm cooked potatoes into a bowl, and add in butter and cream, and mix with a blender until smooth.  You will want to adjust for seasoning.

I made the Swedish Meatballs last week, I thought they were very, very good. I will make them again!!!

Delicious. I didn’t change a thing, except I served it over egg noodles.

Havent cooked it yet but looks pretty good

Your Swedish meatballs turned out great. I used hi-grade pork and beef. Your spice mixture for the sauce was perfect. I'm a big fan of allspice and nutmeg --I grate my nutmeg fresh. For a guy who lately has been living on your Twice-baked Potatoes, this was a nice change of pace. Keep the onesies coming.

I made the Swedish meatballs tonight, and they were wonderful. I used frozen Swedish meatballs from that i had bought from that big Swedish home store and had in the freezer, but made the sauce from your recipe. The only change I made was to add a little ground nutmeg because the ingredients list on the meatballs didn't list it. I will most certainly make this again. Thanks for all of the great recipes.

I made these meatballs and loved them! I used ground beef only. I served them over wide egg noodles delicious!

I've already made this twice and the last time was 30 years ago!  They are delicious.

Ikea-inspired Swedish Meatballs are tender and juicy, cooked in a creamy beef broth sauce, and served over mashed potato, noodles, or rice!

THE BEST SWEDISH MEATBALLS

(908

bread crumbs (seasoned)

parsley (chopped)

½ medium onion (finely chopped)

garlic

pepper

salt (more

smoked paprika (or regular)

olive oil (for frying)

butter (for frying)

butter (for roux)

all-purpose flour (for roux)

heavy cooking cream

honey mustard

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, veal and pork. Add seasoned Italian bread crumbs,  freshly cut parsley, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, chopped onion, minced garlic, pepper, salt and egg. Mix with spatula or your hands *, until well combined. (*Always wash your hands prior and after handling raw meat.)

With a help of tablespoon or small size ice cream scoop, take the mixture of ground meat and roll small meatballs in a desired size. I made them 1 -1½ inch large, which will make around 60 small meatballs.  Set them aside, in a large bowl.

In a large pan, reheat on medium high heat, 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 5 Tbsp of butter. Add the meatballs and cook, turning continuously, until each side of the meatballs is browned and cooked throughout. If the meatballs are turning quickly brown, lower the heat to medium low.

Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to a plate and cover with a food foil or aluminum foil. Keep the pan on the stove.

For meatballs

In the same large pan, change the heat to medium high and add 5 Tbsp of butter to melt. Add all-purpose flour and, with a wooden spatula or better a whisk, and stir quickly until combined. Lower the heat to medium low now and stir until it turns lightly brown, about 2-3 minutes.

Slowly add beef broth, cup by cup, to the flour and butter mixture and whisk continuously. After each addition of beef broth, let the liquid and flour to combine until smooth and creamy. Continue adding the broth cup by cup until smooth and silky sauce is created. Slowly add also heavy cream.

To season the gravy, add Worcestershire sauce and honey mustard. Bring the sauce to a light simmer until the sauce starts to thicken. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Add the meatballs back to the pan with the gravy and reheat the meatballs. Serve  Swedish meatballs over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.
