Prep time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Cook time: 25 minutes
Serves: 20 Meatballs
IKEA released their meatball recipe last year,  but I wonder if it was a great idea for them since this homemade version is 100x better than the meatballs they serve at the IKEA cafeteria.  After making this recipe, I don’t think I could ever go back to eating the ones from IKEA.  These are moist and tender, the cream sauce is absolutely amazing, the true star of this dish – just the perfect balance of flavors (the sauce would be great on pork chops or chicken as well). I guess I’ll still have to stop by IKEA  once in a while just to grab a jar of
Lingonberry Jam
