Ingredients
For Swedish meatballs:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (cooking oil), or as needed
- Half a teaspoon of nutmeg
- Half a teaspoon of ground spices
- Half teaspoon ground black pepper
- Half a teaspoon of salt
- 1/4 cup full fat milk
- 1/3 cup rusk
- 1 large egg
- 2 cloves minced garlic
- 1 small onion, grated on the side of the grater
- 1 pound minced pork
- 1 pound lean beef (10%-15% fat)
To prepare the gravy sauce:
- Salt and pepper to taste
- ½ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 3 cups regular beef broth
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
Instructions
How to make meatballs:
- In a bowl, mix panko crumbs with milk. Add the rest of the ingredients to the meatballs and mix well. Shape into 24 meatballs.
- Add two tablespoons of oil to a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, cook meatballs in 2 batches until golden brown and cooked through (6-7 minutes), stirring as needed. Add more oil as needed. Remove from skillet and cover to keep warm.
How to make gravy sauce:
- In the same skillet, melt the butter. Sift the flour into the flour and cook until golden.
- Add broth, heavy whipping cream, and Dijon and season with salt and pepper to taste. Leave the sauce on low heat and let it thicken.
- Add the meatballs again and stir in the gravy sauce. Cook until meatballs are completely heated through.
These look amazing! Could you bake the meatballs like the ones used in your spaghetti recipe?
Can yellow mustard be used instead of dijon? Will low fat milk make a difference in the meat mixture?
This is comfort food at its best! The meatballs are moist and flavorful.
I have a question. I made a large bunch of meatballs, cooked them and froze. The recipe I used was very similar to yours except for the nutmeg and allspice addition. Should I put these spices in the sauce since they are not in the cooked meatballs? Thank you for your help. Love all your recipes! Deb
I will make this next week!
I’ve never made Swedish meatballs before so I have questions.
Would you add Worcestershire sauce to the gravy (1 Tbsp)?
I’ve seen recipes that use sour cream instead of heavy cream.
Why use one over the other, in your opinion?
I have made Gymonset’s recipe for “Swedish Meatballs” and I must say it turned out delicious. The difference between Natasha’s recipe and others I have tried do not have the mixed spice and nutmeg which makes the dish so flavoursome. So it is Gymonset’s recipe for “Swedish Meatballs” from now on. Thank you Gymonset.
Can beef stock be used instead of beef broth?
Delicious! Kids loved it. Apparently the sauce was cheesy
… But no cheese was added. Thanks and will definitely make again!
I know chiefs work hard on perfecting their recipes, so no dis respect. We do not eat pork. My husband thinks ground chicken would not be a good replacement and we’re not sure about the veal ‘taste’. What other meat would you recommend in place of ‘porky”?
So I am also not a big eater of pork or beef for that matter. I make mine mixed with chicken and turkey and its bomb also very juicy and delish. Hope this helps.
wow tellement bon j avait pas de panco j ai pris du pain tramper dans le lait et tellement bon merci pour vos tres bonnes recettes
I don’t have all spice – or the ingredients to make it. Is there a substitute or can it just be omitted?
OMGG I so loved this recipe!! I made this in combination with your creamy mashed potatoes and it was so good, definitely going to make again! (there were also leftovers for the next day and still tasted quite good so I’m very pleased:) )
Thanks for sharing. My family loved it. If they know that I am making a new recipe from Gymonset’s website; they can’t wait to try it.
I made this for dinner today and it’s good, my husband love it and his Aunt too. Thanks 😋😋
