Ingredients

  • 1 pound ground pork
  • 1 pound ground beef (lean)
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs (I used panko)
  • 1 medium onion (shredded or finely chopped)
  • 2 egg yolks
  • ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • ¼ teaspoon allspice
  • ⅓ cup milk
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil (for frying)
  • 6 tablespoons butter (unsalted)
  • ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 cups beef broth (low sodium)
  • ¼ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper (or to taste)
  • ¾ cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon dill (fresh, chopped)
  • 1 tablespoon parsley (fresh, chopped)

Directions

  1. 1

    Make the meatballs: Mix all the meatball ingredients together. I like to get in there and use my hands to make sure everything is evenly dispersed.

  2. 2

    Fry the meatballs: Heat the olive oil over your pressure cooker’s saute setting. Brown the meatballs in batches on all sides. Set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.

  3. 3

    Make the gravy: With the saute setting still on, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook for 1 minute. Whisk in the beef broth and season with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs back to the pot and cook on high pressure for 8 minutes. When the timer is up, quick release the pressure as per manufacturer's instructions.

  4. 4

    Finish your Swedish meatballs: Remove the meatballs from the pot. Turn the saute setting back on and reduce the gravy for 4-5 minutes, then stir in the sour cream. Pour the gravy over the meatballs and garnish with your chopped herbs.
