EASY SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH CREAMY SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine ground beef and pork. Mix in all the other meatball ingredients by hand (except the olive oil) until well combined.
• Using a cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1 1/2-inch balls. Place on a clean platter, cover and refrigerate for about 30 minutes, if possible - this helps them retain their round shape when cooking.
• In a large non-stick skillet, warm the olive oil over medium-high heat. Working in two batches to avoid overcrowding, add the meatballs and cook, turning continuously until browned on all sides and cooked through, about 5-6 minutes. Repeat with the remaining meatballs. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil.
• Add the butter to the skillet and once melted, whisk in the flour; stir to combine and cook, stirring constantly for about 1 minute until no lumps remain and flour just begins to brown.
• Slowly whisk in the beef broth and then the heavy cream. Whisk in the soy sauce and mustard; bring to a simmer, then turn down the heat to a gentle simmer and let the sauce thicken, stirring constantly, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

SWEDISH MEATBALL SAUCE

• 1. Whisk together the beef stock, heavy cream, flour, soy sauce, black pepper, and rosemary in a large saucepan until smooth. Cook and stir over low heat until thickened, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Stir in the meatballs, and continue cooking until meatballs are heated through, about 5 more minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; toss with butter. Serve with meatball mixture; sprinkle with parsley.
• *My Meatballs: 1. Combine beef, veal, and pork in a large bowl. Add garlic, eggs, cheese, parsley, salt and pepper.
• 2. Blend bread crumbs into meat mixture. Slowly add the water 1/2 cup at a time. The mixture should be very moist but still hold its shape if rolled into meatballs. (I usually use about 1 1/4 cups of water). Shape into meatballs.
• 3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet. Fry meatballs in batches. When the meatball is very brown and slightly crisp remove from the heat and drain on a paper towel. (If your mixture is too wet, cover the meatballs while they are cooking so that they hold their shape better.).
• My Note: I used 1/2 skim milk and 1/2 cream so it wasn't so heavy and it turned out great! BUT IF LIKE TO HAVE A GRAVY: see be low.
• For a Gravy Ingredients:
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter.
• 4 tablespoons flour.
• 2 1/2 cups beef broth.
• 1 tablespoon Worcestershire.
• 1/2 cup sour cream.
• 1/8 teaspoon allspice.
• salt/cracked black pepper, to taste.
• Gravy Directions:.
• 1). In a large skillet, melt butter on medium heat.
• 2). Whisk in the flour slowly and cook until smooth and slightly darkened.
• 3). Add the beef broth, allspice, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce and bring to a simmer.
• 4). Reduce the heat to medium low and stir until gravy thickens.
• 5). Stir in sour cream, mix well, and serve warm on top of meatballs.
• UPDATE: I used lean beef so had to melt butter in the pan to make the gravy. The flavor was wonderful. I skipped the noodles and used them as a hors d'oeuvre. I made the meatballs ahead of time and froze them so I had them ready to go when I made the recipe the following week. Used ground sirloin to cut down on fat. Next time I will need to add melted butter with flour to make the roux because it lumped up and I had to use my emulsifier to get the lumps out. Didn't have fat from the meat (can't add cold liquid to flour).
• Sometime I used at meatloaf mix (beef/pork/veal), and added 2 TBSP of parmesan cheese and 2 tsp crushed garlic for extra flavor. Baked them according to the recipe then put them in a pot of sauce to simmer for a couple hours. That me!
