Print Recipe

A comforting and savory classic featuring tender beef and pork meatballs seasoned with allspice and nutmeg, smothered in a rich, creamy gravy and served over buttered egg noodles.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup finely chopped onion
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 8 ounces egg noodles
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, pork, breadcrumbs, Parmesan, onion, milk, egg, salt, pepper, allspice, nutmeg, and parsley. Mix gently until just combined.
  2. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls (approximately 20-24 meatballs).
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a splash of oil. Brown the meatballs on all sides for 5-7 minutes. Remove meatballs and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook for 2 minutes until golden brown.
  5. Gradually pour in beef broth while whisking continuously until the mixture thickens (3-5 minutes).
  6. Stir in heavy cream and Worcestershire sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
  7. Return meatballs to the skillet, coat with gravy, and simmer on low for 10 minutes.
  8. While simmering, cook egg noodles in salted boiling water according to package directions; drain.
  9. Serve the meatballs and gravy over the cooked noodles and garnish with extra parsley if desired.

Notes

  • Do not overmix the meat to ensure the meatballs remain tender.
  • If the gravy becomes too thick, add a splash of extra beef broth or water to reach desired consistency.
  • For an authentic Swedish touch, serve with a side of lingonberry jam.
