The Best Swedish Meatballs and Gravy

[@normanmpofu2803]

Proud to say that I actually made this for my sister's family and they congratulated me on making quite the dish. They thoroughly enjoyed it! And my sister's 6 year old kept on saying that he was enjoying his supper. Which is quite a big thing because its such a mission to get him to eat! Thank you so much!

Omg. This is amazing! I'm Italian and I thought meatballs without onions was a sin but I tried it anyways. Boy am I glad I did with this dish. So amazing. Thank you very much and I look forward to viewing more of your recipes 😁👍

I just made this recipe tonight, and it was amazing!! Thanks for sharing and making the instructions easy enough to follow. I have tried other recipes with cooking the meatballs in the skillet. These from the oven are far better (and way less greasy) with a lot more flavor. :D Keep up the great vids!

Yes!! Nutmeg and allspice! Thank you for doing your homework!

[@renee5603]

Thank you for sharing. I’m a newbie here and I never knew how to make this. While I was being hospitalized for a stomach infection last year 2022 I had this for lunch. Of no taste because they did not give any salt, but I’m going to try it with all the ingredients. Never used nutmeg or allspice but will try.

I usually make a slury with the breadcrumbs first. Also, a sorbet scoop makes making the meatballs faster, you can use the broiler if you're in a hurry to make the meatballs. Fresh grated nutmeg really puts this over the top amazing. Great recipe though!!

We enjoyed this, the allspice was such a nice touch. I used sour Belgian mustard instead of sour cream to achieve that slight sour note in the sauce. We did bake the meatballs about ten minutes less because they were already fully cooked at that point, maybe because we used the electric setting.

[@Thestayathomechef]

[@michaelbressette2599]

I love the recipe, Like you, I've been changing it up to make it more or less easier & less tedious so I made what I call Swedish Meatloaf. Since I cant use butter I chose a cheap medium to help with gravy buy using a can of mushroom soup strained & a cup of water a tsp of coconut sugar & all the typical spices you find in Swedish meatballs & 2 shallots & a small clove of garlic then I cook this thoroughly, strain out all the bits & let cool a bit then I add the sour cream to add body & creaminess. It is a bit different cause its less fat & less salt to suit my dietary restrictions but has proven to be faster for me to make & tastes exquisitely close to the real Swedish meatballs. I make my own preserves since Loganberries are not often seen where I live. So I tend to use apple plum Rhubarb berries in a combination of 3 fruits with raw honey not sugar so it keeps in the fridge for up to 6 weeks if it even lasts lol. Thank you for this recipe & video, it helped me while I was recreating my meatloaf in a Swedish style even though its not accurate it is a healthier version of it in a loaf form :)

What's giving it a bitter taste so I can use less of? Followed recipe to a T, first time making it however had to adjust salt and pepper drastically to try to get rid of the bitter taste.. I'm thinking maybe the sour cream or Worcestershire sauce, could be the spices too but can't put my finger on it...

[@100PercentOS2]

Another great video and presentation. But I will be adding onion to the meatballs and maybe a tiny bit of sugar to the sauce if I decide to make this dish and I probably will since I love Swedish Meatballs.

[@Thestayathomechef]

[@lilylanchester4359]

Great recipe! I attempted this twice and the second time was a charm. 😊 The allspice and nutmeg seemed too overpowering in my taste the first time. For the second time, I reduced allspice and nutmeg to 1/4 tsp. for both meatball and sauce seasoning. I added salt and pepper to taste just like you mentioned at the end for the sauce. Came out great! All other instructions, I followed directly. Thank you! I’ll add it to my recipe book! 😊

Once the grocery stores here are replenished, I’ll be a happy camper. But tonight I gotta settle for a Frankenstein version of this dish. The meatballs will be mostly pork, and the gravy will be made using chicken stock. And for the pasta, I have a choice between bow-ties and angel hair. I’ll make it work… It’ll taste good, but the texture is gonna be funkier than “Kool & The Gang” on molly. 🤪
