Creamy Swedish Meatballs
Ingredients
For the Meatballs:
1 lb ground beef (or a mix of beef and pork)
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1 small onion, finely chopped
1 large egg
1/4 cup milk
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/4 tsp allspice
Salt & pepper to taste
2 tbsp butter (for frying)
For the Sauce:
3 tbsp butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tsp Dijon mustard
Salt & pepper to taste
Optional sides: Mashed potatoes, steamed broccoli
Directions
Prepare the meatballs:
In a bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, milk, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
Roll into small meatballs (about 1 inch in diameter).
Cook the meatballs:
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the meatballs in batches until browned on all sides (about 6-8 minutes). Remove and set aside.
Make the creamy sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter. Stir in flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to make a roux. Gradually whisk in beef broth until smooth.
Stir in heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and pepper. Simmer until the sauce thickens (about 5 minutes).
Combine & serve:
Add the cooked meatballs back into the skillet, coating them in the sauce. Simmer for another 5 minutes to heat through.
Serve over mashed potatoes with a side of broccoli, and enjoy!
