MsPinaQ - Authentic Swedish Meatballs with Rich Creamy Gravy

Ingredients

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

1/2 cup bread crumbs

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 egg

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

2 tbsp butter

2 tbsp flour

2 cups beef broth

1/2 cup heavy cream

1 tbsp soy sauce

to taste lingonberry jam (for serving)

1
In a bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, milk, chopped onion, egg, salt, pepper, and nutmeg. Mix until just combined.
2
Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Keep them uniform for even cooking.
3
Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pan.
4
Brown the meatballs on all sides, about 6-8 minutes. Remove and set aside once they are golden.
5
In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 1 minute, scraping up any browned bits. Gradually whisk in beef broth.
6
Let the gravy simmer and thicken, then stir in the heavy cream and soy sauce. Adjust seasoning if needed.
7
Return the meatballs to the skillet and let them simmer in the gravy for about 5 minutes.
8
Serve hot with a dollop of lingonberry jam on the side for a sweet contrast.
