Directions:
Ingredients:
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)
Instructions:
- Prepare the Meatball Mixture:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, breadcrumbs, chopped onion, egg, milk, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix until well combined.
- Shape the Meatballs:
- Roll the meat mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a plate.
- Cook the Meatballs:
- Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on all sides, about 8-10 minutes.
- Transfer the cooked meatballs to a plate and set aside.
- Make the Sauce:
- In the same skillet, whisk together the beef broth, heavy cream, and flour until smooth. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
- Combine Meatballs and Sauce:
- Return the meatballs to the skillet and simmer in the sauce for an additional 5 minutes, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce has thickened.
- Serve and Enjoy:
- Garnish with fresh parsley, if desired, and serve the Swedish meatballs hot over mashed potatoes or egg noodles.
Cook’s Note: For a vegetarian alternative, you can substitute the ground beef with plant-based meat alternatives such as Beyond Meat or Impossible Meat.
