Swedish Meatballs

These are cobbled together from a bunch of places.  Hope you like them.

Sweat about

1/2 cup of onion  in butter

Set aside until it cools then add it to:

1/2 lb chuck
1/2 lb ground pork
3/4th cup of dry stuffing mix (or toasted bread broken up or bread crumbs)
2 eggs
salt and pepper to taste
1/2 tsp nutmeg and allspice

Mix together with onion.

Make meatballs of about 1 oz each

Fry on all sides in the same pan you cooked the onion.  Pop them in the oven when done to keep them warm.

Lower the heat in the pan. (add a little butter if you need to)

add 2 tbs flour

whisk until lightly brown. (about a min. and a half)

slowly add in 2 cups beef broth and whisk until the flour is blended in.
slowly add in 1/4 cup heavy cream until the gravy is a bit thick
add in 2 tbs  of sour cream.  Whisk slowly until the gravy is as thick as you like.

(add more broth to thin if needed.)

Serve over extra wide egg noodles.


 ....they are yummy, and my kid loves them so that's a bonus!
