The Creamy Swedish Meatballs I Can't Stop Eating

[@SipandFeast]

Watch the Sip and Feast Podcast for all about cooking, recipes, tips, and tricks: www.youtube.com/@sipandfeastpodcast. The lingonberry jam is awesome so I do recommend you serve it on the side. The ingredient amounts (also in grams) are right in the description and the print recipe is linked there as well. As always, thanks for liking our recipes and videos and sharing our family table each week.

[@Berkana]

For baking meat balls, I have a tip: use a cake pop pan, and put one meatball in each of the ball shaped divots. With this method you get better contact with the pan for that contact browning, and the convenience of using the oven. Or, use a takoyaki pan (one of those Japanese cast iron pans with the spherical divots). They're perfect for meat balls as well. If you bake meatballs in a cake pop pan, you might just get the best of both worlds.

Thank you for the warning about Amazon's jacked-up prices. I'd never order anything from them because of the way they treat their employees, so I'm not surprised to hear that they also take advantage of their clients. There are so many other resources available, I hope people will make an effort to shop at local stores, but if they must order, please check around and try to find a more ethical and reasonable supplier. Lovely recipe, and yes, allspice is delicious. In France it's called poivre de la Jamaique/Jamaican pepper. I use a melange of black, white, allspice, and coriander in my pepper grinder.

[@dragonwagon2799]

apart from your cooking talents/ one of the reasons I subscribed to your channel is the fact that you pronounce Worstershire sauce properly. you got it right the first time... WOOSTER

[@oofowie8882]

Glad to see your channel keep growing, easily one of best home cooking channels on YT

[@jeanniebrooks]

@@dragonwagon2799 yes, he does (or did) pronounce it correctly, but lately he’s kinda made fun of the pronunciation, pretending like it’s difficult. I grew up on the east coast and everyone called it Woost-a-sher sauce. No one ever thought it was difficult to pronounce. Ppl have difficulty when they try to make it 4 syllables instead of 3, and add the “ces’ part as a separate syllable worscest - is simply woost, then next “er” (often pronounced as “a” short vowel) , then shire is pronounced “sher” rhyming with “her.” I guess ppl like making a joke of pronouncing it, but it’s simple. It’s from England and Nigella and Gordon Ramsey pronounce it as we New Englanders do. They don’t stumble over it or make jokes about it.

[@popeyepanther4519]

Hi James, I'm Swedish, I've cooked your Goulash and the Stroganoff, family loved it. Swedish Meat balls is next! Keep up the good work.

[@llc1976]

Yum my grandma Alma Pierson made the best ones I love them and I miss them so I’m gonna try this.

[@EskenRock]

Really. From the source you're not as good? 😂😂😂

[@RolloTonéBrownTown]

As a Swede did you find it strange there was no dill? I loved how there was lingonberry jam but no dill.

[@Joe_Murphy-REV_Realty]

There you have it!! Approval from a Swedish man. Nice job, Jim!! I am absolutely making these! I've been looking for a great recipe on Swedish meatballs for years. I will buy some McCormick all-spice. I had no idea that was in there. Thanks for the help! Joe

[@hyperenoughable]

@BigboiiTone Swede here, there is no dill in swedish meatballs. In alot of other dishes, yes but not meatballs :-)

[@SpoikeTube]

Swede here. Good job on the meatballs. 👍 Traditionally Swedish meatballs are smaller and fried in butter not really in the sauce. Sauce/gravy is usually poured aside. Wostershire sauce is not that often used because Swedes usually use white vinegar (ättika) and or white wine vinegar. And the sauce is usually browner either by using dark soy sauce or collorit (which is sort of like molasses). Lingonberry jam is commonly served together with meatballs and I’m pretty sure IKEA sells it worldwide in their food market section. Another common aside is thinly sliced cucumber that is pickled (pressgurka). We don’t really do buttered noodles in Sweden. More traditional with potatoes. And if pasta is involved (spaghetti or macaroni) we tend to use tomato ketchup.

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

Very likely ketchup in Sweden is different than in USA. A Swedish company makes the most popular ketchup in Ukraine (where I used to live) and it is much different than US style :)

[@Brainspoil]

@@ZhovtoBlakytniy What company is that? Felix? Now I'm curious. Didn't know that about ketchup in Ukraine. :)

[@mhall0]

Was about to comment the exact same thing. I think you got every single detail I was about to mention! These look good, but they're not quite authentic.

[@mikebeacom4883]

I can get lingonberry jam at IKEA in Maryland.

[@Druttentjock]

I am sure these meatballs are delicious but calling them Swedish is quite a stretch.

[@erikhagstrom]

Thanks for good content! Swede here, would say that it’s much easier to grate the onion instead of chop it. This will make it disappear in the meatballs. Also, the lingonberries is in classical way is mixed with sugar - buy frozen lingonberries and mix with sugar, let stand for a while and serve with potatoes together with the sauce and meatballs. To everyone that will travel to Stockholm in the future and want to know how the best Swedish meatballs taste, eat at Riche. Don’t forget to bock a table since it’s always crowded there.

[@erik....]

I have heard Pelikan in Stockholm has the best meatballs.

[@HarrDarr]

@@erik.... Homemade meatballs are almost always the best, but yeah Pelikan and Restaurant Tradition are the best, representing both high and mind end price points respectively. If you want to do your own research on swedish cuisine, the umbrella term is called Husmanskost.

[@Fred-ck1gh]

Most Swedes fry them in butter and then remove the meatballs from the pan, then make the sauce in the pan (or de glace it) just like you did, but with the good flavour from the meatballs still in the pan, and then strain it to a smooth and creamy sauce! In Sweden the meatballs are never cooked or served in the sauce, that's more Italian style, but always separated and then mounted on the plate with lingonberry (I think IKEA sell Lingonberry jam), and it's always served with boiled potatoes or mash potatoes! That is the traditional Swedish way!

[@jacobbrandhild5551]

Agree with everything, serving it without potatoes/mashed potatoes blew my mind.

[@asalindstrom6845]

And he lost me at garlic, parsley and all spice!😂 Never heard of anybody in Sweden using those ingredients. Definitely seems more Italian….

[@Fred-ck1gh]

@@asalindstrom6845 Allspice(Kryddpeppar) is used, but nowadays it's less common but it's more widely used at Christmas!

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

As a Danish person living in a foreign country, this really speaks to my heart. Slight differences between Danish, Swedish and Norwegian techniques, but they are all comfort foods. You're a little unorthodox with some things, but if it tastes good, then it is good! I would be happy to eat anything you cook. You would be surprised at how moist the Danish meatball mix actually is. Danish meatballs are almost always fried in butter. My wife is Swedish, she always complains about how I cook the meatballs. Doesn't stop her from eating a ton of them! Nutmeg. cinnamon and allspice make a huge difference.

[@rmp563]

What would you do differently to make them more authentic? Thx.

[@MichaelSorensen-bl3ec]

@@rmp563 I can only reference the way they are done in Danish cooking. They are almost always served with cucumber salad, not usually with sauce. Sometimes a little remoulade. But everyone has their own way of making them, these ones look pretty good to me.

[@hni7458]

Nutmeg in meatballs? Great tip dear cousin, I'm gonna test that one. The No1 rule for SWE meatball is: the more stuff into the mix the better. Some add ginger.

[@ricklong3260]

You serve over Danish rolls?

[@dawnjohnson5937]

"she always complains about how I cook the meatballs. Doesn't stop her from eating a ton of them!" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I bet she hasn't seen that comment 🤣🤣🤣!!!

[@Stargazer.92]

Swedish guy here, try putting some lingonberry sauce into the cream sauce, like a tablestpoon or two, we love it! Must eat it with potatoes!

[@donkemp8151]

We hosted an exchange student from Sundsvall Sweden 30+ years ago. A couple of years later, we visited him in Sundvall over Easter weekend. His mother made 26 dishes from scratch including Swedish Meatballs with Ligonberry sauce. An awesome meal with even better memories.

[@sara_387]

I put a little honey in my sauce, like my mother's Kåldolmar sauce. My family love it.

[@debbie7747]

The minute I learned you could bake meatballs and then simmer them in sauce, my life got a LOT better! Love your recipes.

[@TheDude50447]

Have done both in the past and Im only baking them when Im under significant time pressure and the quantity is high. But it takes away a lot from the dish. The browning on the meatballs while not as good is secondary to the fond you dont have in the pan for the gravy. I regularly cook for up to 13 people if you get confused by my high quantity statement :D

[@ironageamplification1791]

I like that you aren't using cliche cooking shots and angles. Everyone has the same "birds eye view" plate or the "Babish" hands. No nonsense and straightforward, great job! Food should be unpretentious.

Love the quick tangent on a certain idiosyncrasy of yours, very natural and I love how you brought it all home by saying if it’s good enough for them it’s good enough for me. Never follow the trend and you will always be a trendsetter.

[@blondie74ish]

Looks very good :) Classic swedish meatballs in Sweden at least usually don't have garlic and parsley in them. Or dill for that matter that I saw in a comment :) Whitepepper and mustard though (dijon or whole grain) and standard would be using breadcrums. I use oats actually instead.

[@hassejohansson8506]

Very ceamy and delicious meatballs. Just for info. Traditionally in Sweden we only use salt white pepper egg onion and bread crunches in the meat. Cooked in a frying pan with butter. Served with boild potatoes, lingoberry jam, green peases and cream sauce. But like your version a lot!

[@emilspegel9677]

Green peas are not an essential condiment neither are there boiled potatoes. Swedish meatballs in restaurants are traditionally served with mash potatoes, lingonberries either as a jam or sugared, pickled cucumber and cream gravy...

[@sabbyct]

Great video. Love watching the kids grow up on the channel. Beautiful family!

[@PhrenicosmicOntogeny]

I've been watching for around 2 years now, and had wondered about the "fond" issue. Nice to hear an explanation

[@frankpaws]

the most enthusiastic bread crumb delivery I've ever seen.

[@13soap13]

Have not been getting your vids, so I went a looking. Swedish meatballs in this country owes allegiance to the crock pot. When that came out, it had a small cookbook . . . The recipe for Swedish Meatballs was all the rage . . . I'm a retired teacher, and I can't even begin to tell you how the crock pot was every teacher's savior. Our lunches were leftovers, so we always shared. So much fun! Thanks for bringing back those memories . . . Every Christmas I made extra batches of my cranberry relish which I use exclusively for recipes like this and especially Kreplach/Pelmeni. Now that I'm thinking of it ... I may just use this as the meat stuffing with sauce on the side. Wow . . . I just solved UN border crisis between Sweden/Russia. LOL .... Hope y'all had a great holiday ... Look at you guys ... a skip away from one million subscribers. Congrats. You earned it!

[@the_luxsgaming2853]

Sweden does not have a border with Russia, nor should Swedish meatballs ever be mad in a crockpot. Hell even the oven suggestion in this video is bordering on bad due to the lack of "crust" created from frying them in a pan with butter.

[@dan8402]

I need this in my life! The last time I had good Swedish meat balls was 30 years ago from my aunt Ingrid. She would come to visit once a year and always made them.

That said I have picked up a few good tips from you especially with your Italian dishes.

[@davidwalker41]

This was really good!! I don't eat pork so did all beef on the balls. And because I am a sauce hound, I halved the meatball recipe but made the full sauce recipe. Store didn't have ground nutmeg but did have the nuts so I microplaned that myself and I will never get ground nutmeg again unless I can't find the other. Served on top of egg noodles and my local Publix grocers actually had lingonberry jam. In a word, "delecious."

[@Exiled_Rouge]

Julia Child called it fond. She was classically trained in a French culinary tradition and was fluent in the vernacular. It's even in her cookbooks.

[@jeanniebrooks]

That’s interesting, and good to know. I didn’t recall that. I’ve watched many of her shows, The French Chef in particular, but I only bought Baking with Julia which, of course would not include that word. When I was learning to cook, I was not particularly interested in French Cooking, but I made soufflés, omelets, Boef Bourginone , Coq au Vin, but many other classics like lasagne, lamb stew, sauerbraten, stuffed cabbage, stuffed peppers, Boston baked beans and cod fish cakes, breads, fruit pies, custards, creme caramel, all kinds of cakes, cookies & bars, all kinds of soups- I was in my 20s and early 30s in those days and I had plenty of other inspiration from Gourmet Magazine, Joy of cooking, Fanny Farmer - French cooking was too rich and unnecessarily complicated to my mind! It still is!

[@nancy9704]

Using the word fond is a better word than brown bits. Nothing wrong with using the "f" word. I think Julia Child ought to know.

The production was smooth-the pacing was good-and the recipe was awesome!. Thanks so much. This is my next cooking project as a fledgling cook. I also loved the explanation for the word “fond”. (I actually had been wondering about it) Hilarious. Had me giggling the whole time.

[@SebasthianThorn]

Looks delicious as always! Although it feels more like a Swedish-inspired dish than actual Swedish meatballs. For that you wouldn't use any wine, worchestershire, mustard or parsley, and it's pretty much always served with pickled cucumber as well. It is a very homey, non-cheffy dish, though, so the recipe varies from family to family. And nitpicking aside, I'm pretty sure I'd love this dish! (... except the noodles, that's a bridge too far! 😅Meatballs and brown sauce with noodles to a Swede, is basically like a carbonara served with boiled potatoes instead of pasta to an Italian. **Technically** it's not illegal, but...)

[@ameliasarno1210]

Great recipe and love the fond story!! So true brown bits is what it is!!!

[@Cali-Girl]

Your family's opinion is priceless and means more to me than other YT channels recipes critiques.

[@avogue7831]

OMG this dish is so so so good!. We can buy packaged mixed pork and beef in our country but we can't get the jam, we "so"" get the idea of the jam so added some lemon juice (tart) and sugar in the sauce (used pork stock) worked very well. Served the meatballs (oven) with carrots for more sweetness. No need for pasta, rice etc - it's a complete meal that you can't stop eating!. Delicious

[@DeJayHank]

Yum I personally like to caramelize the onion first, but I like that you actually fry them because I sometimes see people add them raw and it risks it falling apart when frying. Also I prefer just soaking bread crumbs instead of working a bunch of bread. Makes it simpler =) I will say though, ask any swede and they'll say to eat it with potatoes. Mashed or just boiled. Really happy you got some lingonberry jam in there!

[@Joel11111]

We made these once, but substituted the meat for the impossible/beyond ground beef. Works the same pretty well if you don't eat meat.

My compliments, made these for dinner last night and it was as delicious as advertised. I fried them until brown and then baked until done. The sauce was perfect over egg noodles. Also, I used bread loaf ends that were taking up space in my freezer and it still mixed into a pinad. If one puts in the effort they will be greatly rewarded. My house still smells delicious. Thanks.

[@joseph7988]

The meatballs look very good James. I noticed that Stop and Shop sells a meatloaf mix that's beef, pork and veal already together. Might try that since I don't need 2lbs+ of meatballs.

[@jeanniebrooks]

Wow, that’s the classic mix for meatballs! I haven’t been able to get that for years on the west coast. It’s the best for meat loaf too. Usually, it’s fresh ground too so you don’t have severely compacted meat you can’t loosen up and fluff up to prevent hard , dense meatballs. We were able to get it but not for years now, except at specialty markets, which are all gone now. Supermarkets have very limited butchering or meat-grinding. Most everything they get is already wrapped and sealed. Lucky you! I’m sure that’s what Jim would use, but is probably using beef and pork bc he knows most of his audience can’t get what you can. I do, too.

Re brown bits: I have been around many a kitchen and cooking in my lifetime of 74 years. Most people I know would thrown the “brown bits” into the sink to soak with the pan. My mother was a rarity. She thought the brown bits were gold, and boy, was she a great cook! But how do you tell your friends (or mother in law) not to toss the “brown bits” when they think it’s greasy and unhealthy? You elevate the name! Now, everyone is keeping the “fond” when no one would the “brown bits”. Even my husband when he was cooking would try to wash the “brown bits” down the sink (as I was yelling, DON’T DO THAT) or scrape it into the garbage. Now that he has heard it called “fond”, he looks at it differently. Just my take… love the video and your Swedish meatball recipe looks fantastic! I am making my grocery list right now. Love your family!

Know I'm late to the party, but this looks so good. As always, you give concise measures and alternatives: it's not zip boom and bang, that's how we do it with creative edits. You and Sam the Cooking Guy are my go-to tutorials, and while I do find Guga very interesting, his ideas are more for weekend experimentation (though tasty), instead of after-work meals and leftovers for tomorrow's lunch. Thank you again for your time, patience and good eats.

I haven't had Swedish meatballs since I finished furnishing my home decades ago. I shall give this recipe a try.

James Did you know that _black pepper_ berries are actually _unripe pepper_ , harvested when green. But _white pepper_ is harvest when _completely ripe_ . The outer shell is removed revealing the white berries. Chinese cooking uses white pepper for the most part.

Your wife is an appreciated taster for the show. Thank you Tara. 🙂

for really good meatballs, my own meet ball recipe has graited carrots and liver paté mixed in with the onions. It's sooo good

I've seen lingonberry jam at the IKEA store also. I liked it but can't say if it's excellent lingonberry or not.

I tried a similar Swedish meatball recipe for Christmas. I served mine over mashed potatoes as that is how it was served when I had it in Sweden. It tasted really good, but I was a bit let down with the recipe only because the ones I had in Sweden were one of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life. I will have to give this recipe a try.
