Swedish-ish Meatballs Recipe

  • Meatballs:
  • 1 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/4 cup diced onion
  • 1/4 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 pinches ground cinnamon
  • 2 pinches ground nutmeg
  • 2 pinches dried parsley
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • Gravy:
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
  • 1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
  • 1/4 cup sour cream
  • 1 (4.5 ounce) can sliced mushrooms, drained
  1. Mix ground beef, ground pork, onion, bread crumbs, egg, Worcestershire sauce, cinnamon, nutmeg, parsley, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until evenly mixed; shape into 12 2-inch balls.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook meatballs in hot oil until browned on all sides and somewhat firm, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove browned meatballs with a slotted spoon to a slow cooker.
  3. Stir cornstarch into drippings remaining in the skillet; add beef broth. Bring the broth mixture to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer until thickened, about 2 minutes.
