Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 1/2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 pound of ground beef, 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup milk, 1/4 cup finely chopped onion, 1 egg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove the meatballs from the skillet and set aside.
- In the same skillet, sprinkle 2 tablespoons of all-purpose flour over the drippings. Cook and stir for 1 minute. Gradually stir in 1 1/2 cups of beef broth and bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened.
- Stir in 1/2 cup of heavy cream, 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, and 1 tablespoon of Dijon mustard. Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is thickened.
- Sprinkle with 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy the Swedish meatballs with creamy sauce over noodles or mashed potatoes.
Swedish meatballs have a rich history dating back to the 18th century, originating in Sweden. These flavorful meatballs are traditionally made with a mix of ground beef and pork, seasoned with spices like allspice and nutmeg, and served with a creamy gravy. They gained international popularity when Swedish chef Carl Gustaf Mandelberg included them in his cookbook in 1755. Today, they are a staple in Swedish cuisine and are often served with lingonberry sauce and mashed potatoes. For the best Swedish meatballs, visit Stockholm's historic meatball restaurant, Meatballs for the People, or try making them at home with a mix of ground meats and authentic Swedish spices.
