Before I give you the recipe, I need to tell you: We adapted the recipe.
This means we made a change! In the normal recipe, it calls for onions. Well, we don't put those in and it still tastes amazing! So in the recipe below, I won't list it but if you go to the source, you'll see it in the list of ingredients.
Oh! And one more thing:
THANK YOU ELLIE FOR THE HELP, I'M GIVING YOU CREDIT! :)
Now, let's get to the recipe!
Swedish Meatballs Recipe
Ingredients:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- 1/2 cup Panko (Japanese-style breadcrumb)
- 2 large egg yolks
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
For the gravy:
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/3 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- 3/4 cup sour cream
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley leaves
Instructions:
- Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, Panko, egg yolks, allspice and nutmeg; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Using a wooden spoon or clean hands, stir until well combined. Roll the mixture into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch meatballs, forming about 24 meatballs.
- Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- To make the gravy, melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cook, whisking constantly, until slightly thicker, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in sour cream; season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Stir meatballs in and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired
