Ingredients
For the Swedish Meatballs:
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- 1 ½ pounds ground beef
- ¾ cup Italian style breadcrumbs
- 1 Tablespoon dried parsley flakes
- 1 teaspoon minced garlic
- ½ cup finely minced onion
- 1 egg beaten
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
For the Gravy:
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth
- ½ cup sour cream
- ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ cup heavy cream
Instructions
For the Swedish Meatballs:
- In a large bowl, combine ground beef, bread crumbs, parsley flakes, minced garlic, minced onion, egg, salt and pepper.
- Stir mixture with a wooden spoon until well combined. Use clean hands to roll the mixture into meatballs about 1 ½ inches in size (it should make about 20-24 meatballs).
- Put the olive oil into a skillet. Add meatballs, in batches, and cook until all sides are browned, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
- Drain the excess grease out of the skillet.
For the Gravy:
- Melt butter in the skillet. Whisk in flour until lightly browned, about 1 minute. Gradually whisk in beef broth and cook, stirring constantly, until slightly thickened, about 1-2 minutes.
- Stir in sour cream, heavy cream, salt and pepper Stir in meatballs and cook, stirring occasionally, until heated through and thickened, about 8-10 minutes.
- Serve immediately. We recommend serving them with egg noodles, mashed potatoes or rice.
Notes
- FRIDGE: Transfer leftovers to an airtight container and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
- FREEZER: Place fully cooled meatballs onto a baking sheet. Then place them in the freezer for about 2 hours. Once frozen, transfer to an airtight container or freezer bag and freeze for up to 3 months.
- To reheat, add some cook time to frozen meatballs and pop refrigerated meatballs into a skillet or the microwave.
