swedish meatballs 004

Swedish meatballs are served in creamy beef gravy and typically served with mashed potatoes or egg noodles. The Italians serve their noodles with marinara sauce but the Swedes like their meatballs with gravy and I do too. According to Google, Ikea's meatballs ingredients are made up of beef, pork, onion, bread crumbs, egg, water, salt, and pepper. This recipe is a good copycat for Ikea's Swedish meatballs recipe.

These famous meatballs can also be served with some lingonberry jam. Lingonberry Jam is one of those must buy products that Ikea always has sitting out in front of the checkouts.  I always grab a jar of that stuff. Really good with crackers and cream cheese.
