Swedish Meatballs

From linebb956 17 years ago

Now... who makes these anymore? Another lost recipe.. McCalls Recipe Cards 1970 era.. I have made these.. and love them.. yummy!

In a small bowl soak bread crumbs in milk about 5 minutes
in a large bow. combine meats, egg, onion, salt, pepper, allspice and bread mixture and toss gently with fork just to combine.
using hands gently shape mixture into about 30 meatballs
In hot butter in large skillet, saute' meatballs, half at a time until they are browned and cooked all the way through-- about 10 minutes.
Remove meatballs as they are cooked and place in a large bowl.
Remove skillet from heat
Add flour to drippings, stir until smooth.
Add bouillon cube, then 3/4 cup hot water
Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until cube is dissolved and mixture is smooth... scrape bottom of pan for goodies
Add cream and milk... simmer GENTLY stirring for about 3 minutes..
Add meatballs to sauce, toss to coat
Cool quickly, then cover and put in frig over night..
To serve: Reheat gently, sprinkle with dill.
These are great with buttered egg noodles...
I like to made a recipe and a half of the sauce....
ENJOY a old favorite!

I LOOOOOOOOOVE Swedish Meatballs. I'll try this version next time. About 2 yrs ago I found a version by Wolfgang and I remember how much I liked it because at the end he had this sour cream vinegar cucumber dish he said to pair with it. Well I did for kicks. It made it EVEN better. One prob. I can't find the recipe online or in my recipe stash!

I make these! Fell in love with swedish meetballs in one of my visits to Sweden. I eat them like they do, with mashed potatoes and lingon jam. Lingon jam is a wild berry jam that goes perfectly with meatballs.
This is a great recipe! Thank you for the adition! 5*

I love Swedish meatballs. Funny how some people call BBQ meatballs Swedish, I don't think so.

Turned out awesome! Instead of the bouillon used a beef base paste. Very good Linda.
