Swedish Meatballs (homemade Ikea Meatballs)

Prep:20minCook:30min

Recipe video above. Juicy meatballs smothered in a beautiful creamy gravy, with a hint of spicing that Swedish Meatballs are known for. Made extra soft and extra tasty by soaking fresh bread in grated onion - tried and tested technique used in my most of my meatball recipes, highly approved by readers! (See Italian Meatball reviews as an example)

Made in a kast iron skillet. The sauce was absolutely my favorite part! I used crushed up french fried onions for the meatballs. Absolutely delicious.

Very bland. I would add a lot more seasonings to this recipe if I were to remake it. Not going to be a recipe I make again.

The sauce was pretty bland after I stirred in the cream. I added some concentrated beef bouillon and that helped. Otherwise it was delicious !

Took advantage of meatballs in the reduced section at my local co-op🤣, so I diced a white o tion up, fried then both off, made cheesy Mash on the side, started constructing the sauce, combined altogether with the meatballs and onion, served on the mash, was nice we all said we would have again

Used sour cream. Need Lingonberry or jam on the side

Very good. Added nutmeg, pepper and allspice to sauce, too. Served with crusty bread, fresh green beans, mashed potatoes, crusty warm bread and blueberry jam as I had no lingonberry jam.

Tastes just like Ikea's. The gravy was a little tricky to make but adding a little more flour and broth helped even out the consistency.

Adore this recipe! I do add the spices to the sauce too though not just the meatballs as it creates a deeper flavour.
