Instructions
Creating your own Swedish meatballs is an enjoyable process that results in a delicious meal. Follow these steps to ensure success:
1. Mix Meatballs: In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, onion, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper, nutmeg, eggs, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, and milk. Mix until well combined.
2. Shape Meatballs: Wet your hands and shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter. Set aside on a tray.
3. Brown Meatballs: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add the meatballs in batches, browning them on all sides. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make Gravy: In the same skillet, melt the remaining tablespoon of butter. Whisk in the flour, cooking for about 1 minute until golden.
5. Add Broth: Gradually whisk in the beef broth, scraping any bits from the skillet for added flavor. Bring the mixture to a simmer, allowing it to thicken slightly.
6. Incorporate Cream: Add the heavy cream and stir well. Season the gravy with salt and pepper to taste.
7. Simmer Meatballs: Return the browned meatballs to the skillet, gently coating them in the gravy. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to ensure they are cooked through.
8. Serve: Once the meatballs are cooked, remove from heat and let them rest for a few minutes, allowing the flavors to meld together.
