Who knew how easy these are to make! I make them all the time now.
)Swedish Meatballs
Ingredients:
1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground lean pork
1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup dry bread crumbs
1 Tbsp snipped parsley
2 tsp salt
1/8 tsp pepper
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 egg
1/2 cup milk
1/4 cup salad oil
1 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp salt *yes again
1/4 cup all purpose flour
1/8 tsp pepper *yes again
2 cups water
3/4 cup sour cream
Mix thoroughly the beef, pork onion and bread crumbs, parsley, 2 tsp salt, 1/8 tsp pepper, the Worcestershire sauce, egg and milk. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
Shape the mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls into small balls. Set the balls aside.
In a large skillet heat the oil and then brown the meatballs in this until they are all nicely browned evenly on all sides. Set meatballs aside keeping warm. DO NOT drain the oil!
Blend flour, paprika, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/8 teaspoon pepper into the oil in the skillet. Cook over low heat stirring until the mixture is smooth and bubbly. Remove from the heat.
Stir in the water,scraping the 'flavor' off the bottom. Heat to boiling stirring constantly. Boil and stir for one minute more. Reduce heat and gradually stir in the sour cream mixing with a whisk until smooth.
Add the meatballs, cover and simmer on VERY LOW until the meatballs are heated through.
Serve with Lingonberry jelly on the side.
Note: Currant jelly or beach plumb jelly can be substituted if you cannot find Lingonberry jelly!
