Swedish Meatballs

Servings 40 Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup onion - finely chopped
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon allspice - ground
  • 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg - ground
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
  • 4 cups beef Broth
  • 1/3 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, onions, eggs, salt, pepper and spices. Mix thoroughly by hand or with a stand mixer.
  • Shape meatballs into 1 or 1.5 inch rounds and set them on parchment paper.
  • Heat the butter in a saute pan over medium-low heat.
  • Add meatballs to the saute pan, a few at a time (do not overcrowd). Saute until the meatballs are browned on all sides. Remove the meatballs and put them in a crock pot (or in an oven proof dish in warmed oven at about 200 degrees F). Continue until all of the meatballs are cooked.
  • Drop the heat under the skillet to low and add the flour. Whisk the flour until it is lightly browned, about a minute or two.
  • Gradually add the beef stock. Whisk until the flour is dissolved and the mixture starts to thicken.
  • Add the cream and simmer until the sauce is gravy-thick. Then cover the meatballs in the crock pot (or the oven proof dish) with the gravy and serve.
