Seriously AMAZING Swedish Meatballs are so easy to make in a slow cooker! This recipe was passed down from my mother in law & the sauce is to-die-for!

Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup onions diced
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1 pound ground pork
- ½ cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large egg yolks
- ½ teaspoon allspice
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 2 teaspoons kosher salt divided
- 2 teaspoons black pepper divided
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups beef broth
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
- 1 cup sour cream
- 12 ounces wide egg noodles optional - for serving
Instructions
- Add 1 tablespoon olive oil to a large skillet, cook the diced onions 3-5 minutes.
- Combine the cooked onions, ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, egg yolks, allspice, nutmeg, 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper.
- Use your hands to roll the mixture into approximately 24 golf ball sized meatballs.
- In the same skillet you cooked the diced onions, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil, bring to medium-high heat and place the meatballs in the skillet, brown on all sides, 3-5 minutes.
- Remove the meatballs from the skillet and place in a slow cooker.
- Keep the skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add flour to the skillet with the pan drippings from the meatballs.
- Scrape up all of the meatball drippings and combine with the flour.
- Stir in the beef broth and bring to a boil.
- Pour the sauce over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
- Cook on high for 2-3 hours or on low for 4-6 hours.
- If you want to cook egg noodles in the sauce in the slow cooker, add them 30 minutes before serving the meatballs.
- Move the meatballs to the side of the slow cooker to make sure the noodles get cooked in the sauce.
- Before serving the meatballs, add the sour cream, lemon zest, parsley, and additional 1 tsp salt and 1 tsp black pepper to the slow cooker. Stir to combine.
- Serve immediately or turn the slow cooker to warm to serve within the hour.
Notes
Other Serving Options
Instead of cooking the egg noodles in the slow cooker, they can be boiled on the stove, then added to the slow cooker or served on a plate, topped with the meatballs and sauce from the slow cooker. The meatballs are also delicious served over mashed potatoes. For a low carb option, serve the meatballs over spaghetti squash or zucchini noodles. The meatballs are also great served by themselves as a party appetizer.
