Ingredients

  • SWEDISH MEATBALLS*
  • Regular breadcrumbs- 3/4 cup
  • Milk-3/4 cup
  • Garlic minced- 1 tsp.
  • Black pepper- 1/4 tsp.
  • White pepper- 1/4 tsp.
  • All purpose seasoning-1/4 tsp.
  • Worcestershire sauce- 1 tbsp.
  • Nutmeg- 1/8 tsp.
  • Salt- 1/4 tsp.
  • Onion finely chopped- 1
  • Ground beef minced- 2 lbs ( 1 kg)
  • Fresh dill leaves chopped- 3 tbsp.
  • Vegetable oil - 2 tbsp for frying
  • SWEDISH MEATBALLS SAUCE
  • Beef stock- 2 1/4 cup
  • Heavy cream- 1 cup
  • Dijon mustard- 2 tbsp.
  • Soy sauce- 1 tbsp.
  • Salt- 1/4 tsp. or to taste
  • Black pepper- 1/4 tsp.
  • Nutmeg- 1/8 tsp.
  • All purpose flour dissolved in water- 3 tbsp.

Instructions

  • In a large bowl mix regular bread crumbs together with garlic, salt, black pepper, nutmeg, white pepper, all purpose seasoning,Worcestershire sauce and milk. Keep aside for 1-2 minutes.
  • Add the chopped onion, ground beef and dill and mix just until combined. Don't overmix!
  • Use an ice cream scooper to scoop  meat  and roll each scoopful  of meat into a ball, using your hands. This method guarantees that meatballs will be of the same size.
  • Heat 2 tbsp of vegetable oil in a large non stick pan. Cook meatballs for  5-6 minutes, about 2-3 minutes per side over high heat until  browned but not cooked through. If your pan is small to accommodate all the meatballs, fry them in batches.
  • Transfer meatballs into the crockpot and add all the ingredients for the sauce except flour ( beef stock, cream, black pepper, salt, soy sauce, Dijon mustard and nutmeg).
  • Cover and cook on "LOW" 4 hours or on "HIGH" 3 hours.
  • Once the meatballs have cooked, add the flour mixture ( mix 3 tbsp. of flour with 3 tbsp. of water). Cover and cook on  "HIGH" 30 minutes or until the sauce thickens.
  • Adjust salt and pepper to your liking.
