Simple Recipe for Swedish Meatballs

There is nothing quite like a dish of these easy Swedish meatballs and creamy, rich gravy.  They are packed with so much flavor that they’ll quickly be the best meatballs you’ve ever had.

I love making a batch of Swedish meatballs because they are not only easy but very quick to make.  In just about 30 minutes, you’ll go from prep to the table.  That’s my kind of easy weeknight dinner idea!!!

(The great thing about this recipe is that you can serve it for special occasions, too. I know one family that eats this every Christmas Eve as a fun tradition and money-saving option. Get more Christmas-dinner-worthy recipes at How to Do Christmas on a Budget.)

We serve our Swedish meatballs over egg noodles, but you can serve them over rice or mashed potatoes too.  Or, do what I do and just eat them slathered in the gravy!!!

I promise that once you try this recipe, they will be your go-to dinner idea time after time.  They really are that good!!!  This recipe even gives Ikea Swedish Meatballs a run for their money.
