Swedish Meatballs. To get started with this recipe, we have to prepare a few components. You can have swedish meatballs using 14 ingredients and 9 steps. Here is how you cook that.
The ingredients needed to make Swedish Meatballs:
- Make ready 1 lb of ground pork.
- Take 1 lb of ground beef.
- Get 2 slice of fresh white bread w/the crusts cut off.
- Make ready 1/4 cup of whole milk.
- Prepare 5 tbsp of butter.
- Prepare 1/2 cup of finely chopped onion.
- Make ready 1 tsp of salt (or more to taste).
- Take 2 large of egg yolks.
- Take 1/2 tsp of fresh ground black pepper.

But the most important flavour for the a really good creamy gravy is the pan drippings after searing the meatballs. While the meatballs are baking, make the Swedish cream sauce and prepare the noodles. To make the noodles, bring a large pot of water to a boil, season with kosher salt, and add the pappardelle pasta. The Best Swedish Meatballs are smothered in the most amazing rich and creamy gravy.
Steps to make Swedish Meatballs:
- Preheat oven to 200°F..
- Tear the bread into pieces and place in a small mixing bowl and cover with the milk. Make sure it's absorbing but not saturated. Add a little more milk if necessary, just not too much. Set aside..
- In a 12-inch straight sided sauté pan or electric frying pan. I prefer electric as you can control the heat better. Over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Add the onion, a pinch of salt, a little pepper and sweat until the onions are soft, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside..
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, combine the bread and milk mixture, ground beef, pork, egg yolks, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, black pepper, cinnamon, nutmeg, and onions. Beat on medium speed for 1 to 2 minutes..
- Roll meat in to small balls, very small, bite sized and place on a large cutting board lined with wax paper..
- Heat another 1-2 tablespoons of butter, in the same pan that was used for the onions, over medium-low heat, or in an electric skillet set to 300°F. Add the meatballs and sauté until golden brown on all sides, about 7 to 10 minutes. You want them nice and browned. Remove the meatballs to an ovenproof dish using a slotted spoon. Cover and place in the warmed oven..
- Once all of the meatballs are cooked, decrease the heat to low and add the flour to the pan or skillet that was used for sautéing the meatballs. Whisk until lightly browned. It will be thick and lumpy. Approximately 1 to 2 minutes. Gradually add about half of the beef stock, raise the heat a little and whisk until sauce begins to simmer and thicken. Add the rest of the beef stock and simmer for 1-3 more minutes. Remove the meatballs from the oven, cover with the gravy and serve over buttered egg noodles..
- Tips: This recipe yields about 100 meatballs depending on size. It is important they are bite sized. I tend to roll them in batches as I brown them. I can get about 25-30 in the pan at a time. If you don't do both simultaneously it can take 2 hours or more to prepare. If you cook early you can turn off the oven and leave the meatballs in there for easy heating later. They can sit in the oven a long time without drying out. If your sauce is too thick add a little more beef stock. If it's to thin dilute some flour into cold beef stock and add to the sauce slowly and simmer until you reach the desired consistency..
- Enjoy!!!.
The meatballs are packed with such delicious flavor. Savory, comforting and smothered with a sauce that melts in your mouth. You will quickly agree these are the BEST you have ever had! But Swedish meatballs have a unique flavor profile that comes from the addition of spices like allspice and nutmeg. They differ significantly from Italian meatballs which are typically served in a tomato-based sauce and seasoned with basil, oregano, and other Italian spices.
So that is going to wrap it up for this exceptional food swedish meatballs recipe. Thanks so much for reading.
