Addictive Gameday Swedish Meatballs Recipe

Step 1: Prepare the Meatballs

1. In a large mixing bowl, combine ground beef, diced onion, breadcrumbs, an egg, mayonnaise, salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and dill.
2. Mix until just combined—don’t overwork the meat.
3. Roll into 1-inch meatballs and set aside on a tray.

Step 2: Cook the Meatballs

1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat with a drizzle of oil.
2. Add the meatballs in batches and cook until browned on all sides and fully cooked through, about 8–10 minutes.
3. Remove meatballs from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3: Make the Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Whisk in the flour to create a roux, cooking for 1–2 minutes until golden.
3. Slowly whisk in water until smooth and slightly thickened.
4. Add the heavy cream, beef bouillon and stir until creamy. Season with salt and pepper.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

1. Return the cooked meatballs to the skillet and coat them in the sauce.
2. Simmer for 2–3 minutes to let the flavors meld.
3. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm.
