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
