Meatball Ingredients
2 tbls Olive Oil
1 Onion, diced
1/2 lb Ground Beef
1/2 lb Ground Pork
1/2 c Bread Crumbs (I use seasoned)
1 Egg
1/4 tsp ground Allspice
1/4 tsp ground Nutmeg
Salt and Pepper to taste
Gravy Ingredients
1/4 c Butter
1/3 c all purpose Flour
4 c Beef Broth
3/4 c Sour Cream
Salt and Pepper to taste
2 tbls Parsley leaves
Instructions
Sauté onions in 1 tbls olive oil until they become translucent. About 3 minutes.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, bread crumbs, egg, allspice, nutmeg and cooked onion; season with salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix all ingredients until combined. Then make your meatballs, rolling them into 1 1/4-to-1 1/2-inch balls.
Add remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil to the skillet and cook meatballs until all sides are browned – should take about 10 minutes tops. Move them to a plate lined with a paper towel.
For the gravy – melt the butter and then slowly whisk in the flour until all becomes lightly browned. Gradually add the beef broth so the gravy does not become lumpy, and cook while constantly mixing, until the gravy becomes slightly thickened. Season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs to the gravy and cook for another 10 minutes. Garnish with parsley before serving.
And there you have it – easy peasy. Dinner done in 30 minutes.
NOTE: And whatever you decide to serve the meatballs over – whether it be egg noodles, mashed potatoes, gnocchi, or like me – spaghetti squash, get these rolling before starting the Swedish meatballs.
