This Swedish Meatballs recipe is made with juicy homemade meatballs, simmered in a rich and creamy beef gravy -- perfect for serving or noodles or mashed potatoes!

Ingredients

  • 1 slice soft bread
  • 2 tablespoons water
  • 1/2 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 lb ground pork
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/8 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 ½ cups low sodium beef broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream ((or sour cream))
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 1 ½ tablespoons corn starch
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 pinch ground nutmeg

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees F and line a baking sheet with tin foil -- optional but helps with clean up! (OPTIONAL: instead of baking, you can also simmer right in the sauce for 8 minutes per side. I bake a big batch at once, which is why I bake them).

  2. 2

    In a large glass measuring cup, whisk together broth, cream, Worcestershire sauce, corn starch, garlic, parsley, salt, thyme, pepper and nutmeg.
