Smothered in a rich and creamy sauce, these Easy Swedish Meatballs can't be beat. Pan frying the meatballs creates a crispy crust.
Serves: 4
Ingredients
FOR THE MEATBALLS:
1 lb. Ground Beef
½ cup Seasoned Panko Bread Crumbs
1 tsp. Garlic Powder
¼ tsp. Ground Nutmeg
1 tbsp. Worcheshire
¼ cup Fresh Parmesan
1 Egg
1 tbsp. Butter
FOR THE GRAVY:
4 tbsp. Butter
3 tbsp. Flour
2 cups Beef Broth
1 cup Half and Half
1 tbsp. Dijon Mustard
Fresh Thyme, as desired
Instructions
Add all the meatball ingredients to a large bowl. Using your hands, gently mix together until combined.
Roll into 12 meatballs. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt 1 tablespoon of butter. Add the meatballs and cook until browned on each side, making sure to turn throughout. Transfer to a plate and cover with foil to stay warm.
Add 4 tablespoons of butter to the skillet that you cooked the meatballs in. Once melted, add flour and whisk continuously until the butter-flour mixture is golden. Slowly stir in beef broth and half and half, continuing to whisk. Add worcheshire sauce, dijon mustard, and bring to a simmer. Taste, and add salt + pepper, as desired.
Place the meatballs back into the skillet with the sauce and simmer for 5 minutes. Serve over mashed potatoes, noodles or rice.
