Homemade Swedish Meatballs

Ingredients

  • 4.5 lbs ground beef
  • 1 tsp allspice
  • 1 tsp nutmeg
  • 4 Tbsp ground parsley
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • ¾ tsp ground pepper
  • 1 medium sized onion minced
  • cup bread crumbs I used Panko
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 4 eggs beaten
  • Tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, mix ground beef, spices (allspice, nutmeg, ground parsley, garlic powder, and ground pepper), onion, bread crumbs, Worcestershire sauce, and eggs. I have found that using your hands (as long as you wash them thoroughly before and after) is the easiest way to combine the ingredients.
  2. Use your hands to create meatballs. The recipe makes approximately 26 medium-sized meatballs (around 1.5 inches in diameter).
  3. In a skillet with a lid, heat olive oil, and add meatballs. Cook covered until outsides are brown and centers are no longer pink, turning every few minutes. Add additional oil as needed to prevent meatballs from sticking to the pan.
  4. Serve with lingonberry jam and homemade cream sauce. (You'll find my recipe here: https://nashvillewife.com/ikea-style-swedish-meatball-meal-recipe/)
