SWEDISH MEATBALLS
I can still remember how happy it made my mom to cook something special for a family gathering. My parents were ranchers all their lives, so almost every main dish featured beef. This is Mom's recipe for tender Swedish meatballs with a thick savory gravy. -Donna Hanson, Lusk, Wyoming

MOM'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS RECIPE
This is a fabulous classic way to make Swedish meatballs with fresh ingredients. Making a roux with the meat drippings creates a wonderfully rich gravy. We loved the addition of consomme.

MOM'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS
In my house growing up one got to choose their birthday dinner meal. This one was always my first choice. Mom makes the best swedish meatballs - they are different from the standard heavy, thick gravy appetizer and instead are light and fluffy with a hint of sweet and spice. When I grew up mom gave me the recipe. My husband just told me the other day that I've finally perfected it and mine taste just like mom's. (I'll never tell her that, though - her's will always be "the best"!)

Steps:
- Saute onions in 3 T. butter. Let cool a bit and lightly mix the meat, onions, bread crumbs, eggs, 1 1/2 cups of the cream. salt, pepper, nutmeg and parsley. Form into meatballs, about the size of a small walnut, place on cookie trays, and bake at 375 for 20-25 mn.
- Put in two casseroles, and make the cream gravy.
- Melt the 1/4 cup butter in a large, heavy saucepan Add the 1/4 cup flour, a touch more salt and pepper, cook for at least one minute. Do not brown. Gradually add the remaining cream, stirring continuously, until thickened. I like to add some Kitchen Bouquet for more flavor and some color at this point.
- Pour over the meatballs.
- Note: At this point, we generally freeze them and then defrost and bake for an hour or so on Christmas, as this recipe makes a lot of meatballs, so it is time consuming and who wants to do all that on the day of, right?.
- Also, you can freeze the cooked meatballs alone, and make the gravy later and pour it over the meatballs right before you bake them.
MAMA'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS
I know that there are many recipes for Swedish Meatballs out there, but I had to add the one that I grew up with as a kid. And, like everyone else, I think my Mama's were the best! She served them with the gravy over egg noodles along with a green vegetable or salad. You can serve them as a main dish or as an appetizer.

- Combine the beaten egg, milk, and breadcrumbs; let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a small frying pan over medium heat, saute the chopped onions in 1 tablespoon of butter until lightly golden in color.
- In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumb mixture, the sauteed onions, the ground beef and pork, salt, pepper, nutmeg and allspice. Mix well with hands until smooth. Shape into about 36 meatballs, each about 1-inch in diameter.

Cover, reduce heat and simmer 35 to 40 minutes, stirring gently occasionally. Add the half & half and heat thoroughly.

Steps:
- Mix beef, pork, and veal together in a bowl with the onions, egg, white bread broken up into small pieces, and sprinkling of salt and pepper.
- Roll into balls about the size of a golf ball or a little smaller.
- Saute meatballs in melted margarine and the oil until browned.
- Remove meatballs from the pan and set aside.
- Add flour to the grease in the pan(to make a roux) and stir constantly for 30-60 seconds.
- Add 1/2 of the carton of half and half, the gravy master, and salt and pepper to taste.
- Stir until it starts to thicken, and then add meatballs back to the pan.
- Simmer on low for 40 minutes.
- As it thickens more, you can add the rest of the half and half as needed. (I usually end up adding the rest little by little because I like it saucey and because some of the sauce cooks away while simmering.).
- Re-season with salt and pepper to your taste, before serving on top of cooked egg noodles. Enjoy!
MY MOM'S SWEDISH MEATBALLS
My Mom was famous for her Swedish meatballs. I remember when she stood in her kitchen making thousands of them for a priest's anniversay party, he had requested them, back in the 70s. Then she drove them 200 miles to the rectory. Lordy, she had great faith. Or maybe she thought she'd go to hell if she had said, "No!" I would...

Steps:
- 1. Soak the bread in the cream for about 2 hours in the refrig.
- 2. Grind the onions. Or use a food processor to make then very very fine. Almost a paste. Slighty brown the onions in the butter.
- 3. Mix the meat, onion, bread with cream, spice to taste, and eggs all together until well incorporated. Make small balls the size of walnuts and place them on baking sheets.
- 4. Bake in a oven set at 350 until slightly brown on top, bottom and sides. Turn off the heat. Remove from cookie sheets and place in a deep pan. Make a mushroom sauce and pour over the meatballs.
- 5. Serve hot. I have use barbeque sauce with these too when I am too lazy to make a homemade mushroom sauce. Or you can open a can of Campbells cream of mushroom soup with a tad of ground nutmeg. (Don't tell my Mom I told you that!)
