Being very into my Swedish heritage, I took it upon myself to learn how to cook the food, among other things. These are my famous Swedish Meatballs. I can never seem to make enough. Serve with lingonberries (cranberries are a good substitute) or with sour cream and beef gravy sauce heated. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons butter |
1 onion, minced |
1/2 cup sour cream |
1/2 cup italian seasoned bread crumbs |
2 eggs |
1/2 pound ground beef |
1/2 pound ground pork |
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves |
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper |
2 tablespoons butter |
Directions:
1. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion, and cook until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Scrape into a bowl, and set aside until cool.
2. Stir the sour cream together with the bread crumbs in a small bowl. In a large bowl, lightly combine the onion, eggs, ground beef, ground pork, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, salt, and pepper; stir in the sour cream-crumb mixture, and lightly but thoroughly mix until combined. Form the meat mixture into small balls about the size of a walnut.
3. Melt another 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meatballs, and cook until browned on all sides and no longer pink in the center, about 10 minutes.
