Swedish Meatballs In A Bag Recipes

SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place an ovenproof baking/cooling rack over top; spray the rack very generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk the eggs and cream together in a medium bowl. Stir in the bread and mash until no large bread chunks remain. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the pork, garlic, allspice, pepper, salt, and baking powder on high speed until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary. Add the bread mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on low speed until combined (so it doesn't splatter), then increase the speed to high and beat until smooth and homogeneous, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as necessary. Add the beef and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary. Using wet hands, form the meat mixture into 1½-inch round meatballs and place on the prepared rack. (The mixture is very sticky and wet hands help; keep wetting your hands as you go). Bake for about 20 minutes, until just done.
• Note: You'll notice that the rack will leave little marks on the meatballs but they will not be too noticeable once the meatballs are covered with sauce.
• While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. (Careful not to burn; it goes from golden to burnt quickly.) Whisk in the chicken broth, getting rid of any lumps. Add the brown sugar and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking and scraping down the sides of the pan occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and reduced, about 10 minutes. Add the cream, soy sauce and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking and scraping down the sides occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer, turning occasionally to coat with the sauce, until heated through. Stir in the lemon juice, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
• Note: The cream sauce is a touch sweet. For a less sweet sauce, you can reduce or omit the brown sugar.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meatballs (without the sauce) can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, prepare the sauce and reheat the meatballs in the sauce until hot in the center.

SERIOUSLY AMAZING SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN BROWN GRAVY

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat a tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the onions and allow them to soften and become translucent about 3-5 minutes. Remove to a medium bowl and allow them to cool.
• In a small bowl, pour the milk over the bread and press down with a spoon or your fingers so that the bread soaks up all the milk, let sit 5 minutes.
• When the onions have cooled, add the ground beef, bread mixture, an egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice to the bowl and mix until just combined. Don't overmix the meat as it will result in tough meatballs. Shape into 18-22 meatballs that are about 1- 1 ¼ inch in diameter.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of butter along with oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs and cook for 6-9 minutes, turn every couple of minutes to ensure even browning. Remove to a plate. If you don't have a skillet large enough to hold all the meatballs, do it in batches, do not overcrowd the pan, you don't want them to steam as they won't develop that brown outer crust and as a result, the sauce will be very light in color.
• Add the remaining 3 tbsp of butter to the skillet on medium-low heat. Sprinkle the flour in and whisk for 1-2 minutes or until it turns golden brown. Slowly pour the beef broth in while you whisk. Lower the heat, whisk in the sour cream until it dissolves completely.
• Add the garlic powder, a ½ teaspoon of mustard, and Worcestershire sauce and let come to a gentle simmer before lowering the heat. Allow sauce to thicken for 6-10 minutes or until it reaches desired consistency. Taste and adjust with additional mustard as desired. Add meatballs in when there are 4 minutes remaining. Keep in mind the sauce will thicken as it sits, so if you aren't serving right away, consider leaving it a little thinner. Serve on top of buttered egg noodles or mashed potatoes. Top with fresh parsley if desired!

SWEDISH MEATBALLS (HOMEMADE IKEA MEATBALLS)

Steps:

• Grate onion using a standard box grater (see video).
• Scrape onion and juices into bowl. Add bread and mix well - onion juice should make bread soggy (if not, add a tiny splash of milk). Set aside to soak for 1 minute.
• Add remaining Meatball ingredients EXCEPT oil. Mix well.
• Using a tablespoon measure and measure out a heaped tablespoon (or use ice cream scooper which is what I do), dollop on work surface. Repeat with remaining mixture: 25 - 30 meatballs. Then roll into shape.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• MEATBALLS:
• In a small bowl combine bread crumbs and milk. Set aside.
• In a skillet over medium heat, add butter and oil.
• Once butter is melted, add onions and cook until soft and translucent.
• Once onions are cooked through, add garlic, Worcestershire sauce and oregano. Cook for 2 more minutes.
• Put mixture into a large bowl. Add ground beef, salt and pepper. Mix well {you may need your hands for this!}
• Add egg and bread crumbs and mix well.
• Using a small cookie scoop, or a Tablespoon, scoop ground beef into 1 inch balls.
• Add additional butter and oil as needed to the same skillet you cooked onion mixture in.
• Once skillet is hot, add meatballs and GENTLY cook, stirring as needed until cooked through. Do not over crowd your skillet! You need room to move the meatballs around.
• Once cooked, remove from skillet and set aside.
• SAUCE:
• In same skillet, over medium low heat, add butter.
• Once butter is melted, add flour, a little at a time, until well mixed and resembles a thick paste.
• Using a whisk, add beef broth to flour mixture 1/4 cup at a time until add added. DO NOT ADD ALL AT ONCE!
• You are making a roux. If you add broth in all at once, it will be thick and clumpy. While adding broth in a little at a time, mixture will thicken then will slowly thin out and be clump free.
• Add heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce and Dijon mustard. Bring mixture to a slow simmer. Allow to cook until slightly thickened.
• Add meatballs. Cook for an additional 10 minutes. Meatballs should be cooked through and mixture should be slightly thickened.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS IN A BAG

Steps:

• Hydrate bread crumbs in a mixing bowl by pouring water (1/2 to 3/4 cup) over them.
• To cook en papillote (in the oven, enclosed in foil), use a large foil oven pouch, or make an oven pouch out of a 3 foot length of heavy duty foil by bringing the 2 ends to the center, folding the sides to seal, and leaving an opening at the center through which to place the sauce and meatballs. Shake flour in the pouch to coat the inside, and (for safety reasons) place in a roasting pan. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F.
• To cook en papillote on the grill, follow the same procedure with the foil pouch and preheat grill to medium-high heat. (The foil pouch method is great for cooking and cleanup, but because the liquids inside will become very hot, use a roasting pan to support the weight of the pouch for safety reasons.)
• To the bowl of hydrated bread crumbs, add ground beef, onion, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. With an electric mixer, beat the meat mixture until fluffy. Heat oil in a large skillet to sear off meatballs. (In the episode, we seared the meatballs in a deep-fryer.) Form meat mixture into small meatballs, and sear them in the skillet or deep-fryer. Remove to paper toweling to drain briefly. Add butter, beef stock, sherry, cream and bay leaf to foil pouch (which you have placed into a roasting pan for safety reasons to support the weight of the "floppy" pouch). Transfer meatballs to the oven pouch and seal the pouch. Bake for about 20 to 25 minutes, or grill for about 15 to 20 minutes. Use extra care in dealing with the hot liquids in the foil pouch or oven bag.
• Pour the sauce from the bag into a small saucepan. Remove bay leaf from sauce before serving. Whisk in Dijon mustard and honey mustard and heat for a few minutes to thicken, and serve with meatballs.
