Easy Swedish Meatball Recipe

I don't think I've ever had Swedish meatballs before and this recipe was a great introduction. I'm definitely going to start making this regularly.

Note to self: Full recipe is way too much for 2 people (even factoring in leftovers) 😂

The prep took me about 40 minutes, but I have an electric stove, so no instant heat. I scaled it down to 2 servings and there are leftovers for lunch tomorrow, which I'm going to have to thumb wrestle my partner over, they're that good. The sauce wound up a little thick, but I let it down with a bit more homemade stock and it was superb. Adjust the spices to taste - I omitted the garlic - but I found the nutmeg and alspice amounts perfect. Lovely recipe!

We made about twice as many meatballs as the recipe said but we like them on the smaller side. These taste just like I remember eating growing up. We always serve them with mashed potatoes and lingonberry jam. I also prefer not to grate the onion - dicing works fine.

I liked this. Eating it with a jelly like at ikea does make it better. I just used strawberry because that's what I had.
