Ingredients:
For the meatballs:
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 pound ground pork (you can also use all beef if preferred)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
For the sauce:
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 2 cups beef broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
For serving:
- Cooked egg noodles
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking sheet or line it with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, milk, chopped onion, minced garlic, egg, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and allspice. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly incorporated.
- Shape the meat mixture into meatballs, about 1 to 1.5 inches in diameter, and place them on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the meatballs in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through and browned on the outside.
- While the meatballs are baking, prepare the sauce. In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes to make a roux.
- Gradually whisk in the beef broth, making sure there are no lumps. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for a few minutes until thickened.
- Stir in the heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the meatballs are cooked, transfer them to the saucepan with the sauce. Gently stir to coat the meatballs in the sauce.
- Serve the Swedish meatballs and sauce over cooked egg noodles. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
