Swedish Meatballs

I have a delicious recipe to share with you for Swedish meatballs! These must be good, because I'm not all that crazy over meatballs, but I am obsessed with these!

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:
  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook, stirring frequently for about 2-3 minutes
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. Stir meatballs in and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
  6. Serve immediately, garnished with parsley, if desired
