Ikea Swedish Meatballs




Swedish meatballs are so good. But just good until you've had them done right. When you make these you will know you've reached the ultimate. The best are Ikea made meatballs. But really home cooked Ikea meatballs are really better. I promise. These are loved so much I made them for Christmas dinner. Really I did. I add a few spices to the recipe to make it a little special. Serve the meatballs and sauce over mashed potatoes and a side of lingonberry jam.

Ingredients
1 lb ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1 egg
1c cream
2 1/2tbsp minced onions
1/4c rusk flour or bread crumbs
2 boiled mashed potatoes
5 tbsp butter
Salt and pepper
1tsp Allspice

Cream Sauce
1c beef stock
1/2c cream
1tbsp soy sauce
1tbsp flour
salt and white pepper

Method
Heat onion in butter in pan until golden. Combine meats well by kneading. Add the rest of the ingredients and combine until well mixed. Roll into balls and fry in butter until browned. I finish the cooking process in the oven at 350°

Heat stock in pan add cream and thicken with flour rue. Whisk together add rest of ingredients. Season with salt pepper to taste and a pinch of allspice.

Toss meatballs with the sauce.
