Swedish Meatballs

Updated: Sep 16, 2020

These swedish meatballs are full of classic ingredients, but together they somehow form magic. The trick to a light, almost fluffy meatball is to not over-mix the ingredients. Just blend it all together fast and know that less is more when mixing the meatball ingredients. Meatballs shown below without the sauce. This is an easy dish. My 10-year-old loves to help me make this! #sonomnom4u #swedishmeatballs

Take a well rounded TBSP of the meat mix and roll it into your hands to form a meatball that is about 1"-1-1/2" diameter. Place meatball on baking rack on the baking sheet lined with parchment. Repeat until all meatballs are formed.

Serve meatballs over egg noodles with a scoop of hot sauce over them and a sprinkle of fresh chopped parsely right over the top of it.


NOTE: You can cook the meatballs in a pan with melted butter if you would like. I prefer baking them so they remain round and cook more evenly.
