Ingredients:
1 large onion, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 pounds ground beef
2 large eggs
3/4 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1 cup sour cream
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Sauté Aromatics: In a skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil and sauté the onion until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for another minute. Transfer to a large mixing bowl.
2. Prepare the Meatball Mixture: To the bowl, add ground beef, eggs, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, pepper, allspice, and nutmeg. Mix gently until just combined—avoid overmixing to keep the meatballs tender.
3. Form Meatballs: Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs and arrange them in the slow cooker.
4. Make the Sauce Base: In a medium bowl, whisk together the beef broth and flour until smooth. Pour the mixture over the meatballs in the slow cooker.
5. Cook: Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat. Let the meatballs cook for 6 hours, ensuring they are tender and fully cooked.
6. Finish the Sauce: In the last 30 minutes, add sour cream, Worcestershire sauce, and Dijon mustard to the slow cooker. Gently stir to combine and cook until heated through.
7. Serve: Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve the creamy Swedish meatballs over egg noodles, mashed potatoes, or rice for a satisfying meal.
