Recipe: Swedish Meatballs
Taste of Home
The next time you’re craving a meal that reminds you of Mom’s home cooking, turn to this easy recipe for Swedish meatballs. Just like classic meat loaf and cold-day chicken noodle soup, this recipe will warm your heart and soul every time.
With Swedish meatballs, the meatballs are usually made beef or pork (or both!) and smothered in a rich and creamy gravy. Sweden made this dish famous, but it was actually adapted from a recipe brought back from Turkey in the early 18th century by King Charles XII of Sweden.
Thankfully, our easy Swedish meatball recipe doesn’t require a trip to Turkey, Sweden or IKEA. In fact, these Swedish meatballs are better than the ones you might get at a cafe—and they come together in just about an hour. Best of all, they’re made with everyday ingredients that are likely already in your pantry. Served over a bed of buttery egg noodles, this is one of those easy dinner ideas everyone will love.
Recipe by Marybeth Mank ~ Mesquite, Texas
-
Ingredients:
- 3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 2 large eggs, lightly beaten
- 1/3 cup minced fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2-3/4 cups 2% milk
- 2 cans (10-1/2 ounces each) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon coarsely ground pepper
- 3/4 teaspoon salt
- Optional: 1/4 teaspoon each ground allspice and ground nutmeg
- 1 package (16 ounces) egg noodles
- 1/4 cup butter, cubed
- 1/4 cup minced fresh parsley
- In a large bowl, combine the first 6 ingredients. Add beef; mix lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 1-1/2-in. meatballs (about 36). In a large skillet over medium heat, brown meatballs in batches. Using a slotted spoon, remove to paper towels to drain, reserving drippings in pan.
- For gravy, stir flour into drippings; cook over medium-high heat until light brown (do not burn). Gradually whisk in milk until smooth. Stir in consomme, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt and allspice and nutmeg if desired. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat; cook and stir until thickened, about 2 minutes.
- Reduce heat to medium-low; return meatballs to pan. Cook, uncovered, until meatballs are cooked through, 15-20 minutes longer, stirring occasionally.
- Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; toss with butter. Serve with meatball mixture; sprinkle with parsley.
