Swedish Meatball Dinner

Swedish MeatBalls

Such a simple yet crowd pleasing meal this truly is. So here it goes! I made Swedish meatballs in a brown gravy with whole wheat egg noodles and green beans drained and sauteed in a little butter on medium high heat.

Swedish Meatballs

1/2-1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground turkey (optional)(makes a super lean and tender meatball tho)
1/2 cup of dried bread broken down in a plastic bag with a soup(beat it gently or bag will break)
1/4 cup milk
2T. ketchup
1T. Worcestershire sauce
1/2 packet of Lipton onion soup
1/2T. black pepper
2 eggs

Mix together well... if it seems dry add in more milk to hydrate it... but you want it to be somewhat firm to roll balls. So roll balls of 1T. of meat and place on cookie sheet. They should not be touching and bake 375 for 25- 30 minutes... when browned pull out and set aside. In the meantime make the gravy using 3 packets of brown gravy mix and make accordingly to packet directions. When thickened to desired preference add in a half cup sour cream. Reduce heat to low and whisk until smooth.... once smooth add in meatballs and let simmer 5-10 minutes or longer if desired; It wont hurt anything. Once ready, serve over al dente egg noodles and along with your sauteed green beans. Yummy! Comfort food 101:)
