A beloved classic made famous worldwide by IKEA, Swedish meatballs are the ultimate comfort food. This recipe will show you how to make them from scratch, complete with the signature creamy gravy (gräddsås). The meatballs themselves are tender and flavorful, made with a mix of ground beef and pork and seasoned with allspice and nutmeg. They are first browned to develop flavor, then gently simmered in a rich, savory cream sauce. Traditionally served with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, and quick-pickled cucumbers, this dish is a perfect balance of savory, creamy, and sweet-tart flavors. It’s a wonderful meal for a cozy family dinner.
