Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 large egg
½ cup panko breadcrumbs
1 tsp salt
½ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp onion powder
¼ tsp ground allspice
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
Pepper to taste
2 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
For the Sauce:
¼ cup butter (½ stick)
⅓ cup flour
3 cups beef broth
½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
½ cup full-fat sour cream
1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Make the Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine all meatball ingredients (except oil). Mix just until combined and form into 1½-inch balls.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Brown meatballs on all sides until cooked through. Remove and set aside.
Make the Gravy: In the same skillet, melt butter. Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes. Slowly whisk in beef broth until smooth.
Add Dijon mustard and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer until slightly thickened.
Stir in sour cream and return meatballs to the skillet. Simmer 5–10 minutes until everything is heated through and the sauce is creamy.
Garnish with parsley and serve hot.
Notes
Creamy, spiced, and packed with tradition—these Swedish meatballs make every bite feel like a warm hug.
