Once the breadcrumb mixture is ready, add the ground chuck and chicken.  Mix well using a wooden spoon.  Roll meat into 1½-inch balls (or use a 1½ inch scoop) and place on the prepared sheet pan 1 inch apart.  Cook 20 minutes or until no longer pink in the center.

For the Meatballs:

While meatballs are cooking, prepare the sauce.

For the Sauce:

Melt the butter in a large skillet.  Add the flour to the butter and whisk well.  Cook over med-low heat until mixture turns a little darker.  Whisk often.  Add beef broth, chicken broth, cream, sour cream, soy sauce, Dijon mustard, Worcestershire sauce, cider vinegar, sugar and black pepper.  Taste, then season with salt, if needed.  Bring to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat to low and add the meatballs.  Simmer, stirring gently &amp; often, until gravy has thickened.  Add chopped parsley and stir gently.

Serve over egg noodles, mashed potatoes or macaroni.

If eating Swedish Meatballs without noodles or a side dish, serve with a teaspoon of Lingonberry Jam or Cranberry Sauce on the side, optional.

Enjoy!

Add the beef broth one big splash at a time, whisking well after each addition. Once the mixture resembles the texture of pudding, you can go ahead and add all the remaining broth and whisk to combine. All the mixture to simmer for about 3 minutes, just until slightly thickened.

Add the remaining ingredients, whisk, and all the mixture to come back to a simmer. Then, allow to simmer 5 minutes more.

Traditional Swedish Meatballs (Classic Recipe) +Video

pork

beef

pepper

parsley (finely chopped)

In a large bowl combine ground pork, ground beef, onion, egg, salt, pepper, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, allspice, and parsley. Mix the ingredients thoroughly then roll into 1 1/2 inch balls.

Place butter in a large skillet and, working in batches, begin frying the meatballs, cooking them on all sides until they are perfectly browned and cooked through, about 10 minutes.

Once meatballs are cooked set them to the side and begin making your sauce. Add butter to the skillet and once it is melted add the flour whisking quickly and forming a roux. Cook for 1-2 minutes or until it begins to turn a golden color.

Slowly add beef broth whisking the whole time to keep it from getting lumpy. Once all of the broth has been added cook for 5-7 minutes or until the sauce begins to thicken.

Add Worcestershire and heavy cream and continue cooking until the sauce is thickened enough to coat the back of a spoon.

Add the meatballs to the sauce and cook them together for about 5 minutes.

Serve over egg noodles or mashed potatoes.
