This is my son\nHunter’s Favorite Baked Swedish Meatballs & Noodles\n– a recipe that he requests weekly, in my household, and one that I have absolutely perfected! These meatballs are a better-for-you recipe inspired by the IKEA café classic recipe, and comes together with the creamiest, most delicious sauce. Your family is going to love it!\nFriends, whenever I ask my boys what they want for dinner, my youngest son, Hunter, requests the same dish: meatballs and noodles! While most kids ask for pizza or mac n’ cheese, there is nothing that Hunter loves more than\nmeatballs\nand noodles. Since he loves this dish so much, I’ve spent SO much time creating the perfect recipe, to ensure that it satisfies his cravings, every time! And, as it turns out, both of my boys can’t get enough of this recipe.\nThese\nmeatballs\nare not just an incredible recipe – they also happen to be my take on the classic IKEA Swedish meatballs. If you’ve never had the food at the IKEA cafe, then you are missing out. Their Swedish meatballs are classic for a reason. They’re tender on the inside, with the perfect crust on the outside. But dare I say… my version is even better. That’s because these meatballs are served alongside a rich and creamy\nsauce\nthat is truly so good, that you could drink it. I mean that! Plus, when served atop a bed of fluffy\negg noodles\n? It’s the perfect combination. Believe me when I say that you won’t be able to get enough of this recipe!\nTo make these meatballs, you will need ground beef & pork, parsley onion, garlic, spices, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, olive oil, butter, flour, beef broth, dijon mustard, heavy cream, and egg noodles.\nStart by preheating your oven to 400ºF. Then, add all of the meatball ingredients to a bowl and use your hands to work them together, until they’re fully combined.\nWhat You Need to Make These Classic Meatballs and Noodles\nGround Beef & Pork:\nThe secret to making these meatballs is to use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. The two meats together add the best flavor, so be sure not to skip out on using both of them!\nItalian Parsley:\nFresh Italian parsley not only adds a pop of color to these meatballs, but also adds the best finishing touch.\nOnion:\nYou’ll need one onion for these meatballs – I recommend using a yellow onion here.\nGarlic:\nI highly recommend using fresh garlic here, for the best flavor.\nSpices:\nYou’ll need a combination of nutmeg, allspice, kosher salt, and ground black pepper, in order to make these meatballs.\nPanko Breadcrumbs:\nPanko bread crumbs add texture to these meatballs and help them stay together. If you prefer, you can also substitute these out for gluten-free breadcrumbs instead.\nEggs:\nEggs work as the binder, to keep these meatballs together.\nOlive Oil:\nA little bit of olive oil helps the meatballs stay together.\nButter:\nThe secret to making a rich and creamy sauce? It’s butter!\nAll-Purpose Flour:\nThe flour makes the sauce nice and thick, so that it can fully coat the meatballs. You can also opt to use gluten-free flour here, if you prefer.\nBeef Broth:\nRich beef broth adds a delicious flavor to the sauce. I like to use\nKettle & Fire\nbeef bone both for added protein and flavor.\nDijon Mustard:\nDijon mustard adds a delicious tang to the sauce. Don’t skip this!\nHeavy Cream:\nA little heavy cream makes the sauce perfectly creamy! You can also substitute full fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option!\nEgg Noodles:\nMeatballs with noodles is a classic combination! I recommend using egg noodles, for this recipe.\nUse a cookie scoop and scoop out some of the meat, forming it into a 2-inch meatball. Repeat until all of the meat has been formed into meatballs, and line them up on the baking sheet. You should get approximately 28-30 small meatballs. Then, transfer them to the oven and allow them to bake for 15-20 minutes.\nHow to Make These Tender & Flavorful Swedish Meatballs\nTo make these meatballs, start by preheating your oven to 400ºF.

Then, add in the flour, followed by the beef broth, dijon mustard, kosher salt, nutmeg, allspice and heavy cream, and continue to whisk until the sauce is smooth.\nAllow the meatballs to cook in the sauce for 10 minutes.

While most kids ask for pizza or mac n’ cheese, there is nothing that Hunter loves more than [meatballs](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/the-ultimate-meatball-recipe\/) and noodles. Since he loves this dish so much, I’ve spent SO much time creating the perfect recipe, to ensure that it satisfies his cravings, every time! And, as it turns out, both of my boys can’t get enough of this recipe.\n\nThese [meatballs](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/italian-wedding-soup\/) are not just an incredible recipe – they also happen to be my take on the classic IKEA Swedish meatballs. If you’ve never had the food at the IKEA cafe, then you are missing out. Their Swedish meatballs are classic for a reason. They’re tender on the inside, with the perfect crust on the outside. But dare I say… my version is even better. That’s because these meatballs are served alongside a rich and creamy [sauce](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/one-pan-saucy-coconut-chicken\/) that is truly so good, that you could drink it. I mean that! Plus, when served atop a bed of fluffy [egg noodles](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/cozy-turkey-noodle-soup\/)? It’s the perfect combination. Believe me when I say that you won’t be able to get enough of this recipe\\!\n\n![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs and noodles, laid out in individual bowls on a countertop](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-1-819x1024.jpg)\n\nTo make these meatballs, you will need ground beef & pork, parsley onion, garlic, spices, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, olive oil, butter, flour, beef broth, dijon mustard, heavy cream, and egg noodles.\n\n![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs, added to a large bowl](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-2-819x1024.jpg)\n\nStart by preheating your oven to 400ºF. Then, add all of the meatball ingredients to a bowl and use your hands to work them together, until they’re fully combined.\n## What You Need to Make These Classic Meatballs and Noodles\n- **Ground Beef & Pork:** The secret to making these meatballs is to use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. The two meats together add the best flavor, so be sure not to skip out on using both of them\\!\n- **Italian Parsley:** Fresh Italian parsley not only adds a pop of color to these meatballs, but also adds the best finishing touch.\n- **Onion:** You’ll need one onion for these meatballs – I recommend using a yellow onion here.\n- **Garlic:** I highly recommend using fresh garlic here, for the best flavor.\n- **Spices:** You’ll need a combination of nutmeg, allspice, kosher salt, and ground black pepper, in order to make these meatballs.\n- **Panko Breadcrumbs:** Panko bread crumbs add texture to these meatballs and help them stay together. If you prefer, you can also substitute these out for gluten-free breadcrumbs instead.\n- **Eggs:** Eggs work as the binder, to keep these meatballs together.\n- **Olive Oil:** A little bit of olive oil helps the meatballs stay together.\n- **Butter:** The secret to making a rich and creamy sauce? It’s butter\\!\n- **All-Purpose Flour:** The flour makes the sauce nice and thick, so that it can fully coat the meatballs. You can also opt to use gluten-free flour here, if you prefer.\n- **Beef Broth:** Rich beef broth adds a delicious flavor to the sauce. I like to use [Kettle & Fire](https:\/\/www.kettleandfire.com\/products\/grass-fed-beef-bone-broth?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=15992919068&utm_content=138840691409&utm_term=kettle%20and%20fire&gadid=652222986624&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw26KxBhBDEiwAu6KXt-2PCUdjMVGnPU9OjggAX3y_SLigrTovkARPnJTbrpVhidjE0UwgZhoCNaYQAvD_BwE) beef bone both for added protein and flavor.\n- **Dijon Mustard:** Dijon mustard adds a delicious tang to the sauce. Don’t skip this\\!\n- **Heavy Cream:** A little heavy cream makes the sauce perfectly creamy! You can also substitute full fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option\\!\n- **Egg Noodles:** Meatballs with noodles is a classic combination! I recommend using egg noodles, for this recipe.\n\n![A baking sheet, topped with the formed swedish meatballs.](https:\/\/kalejunkie.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/04\/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-3.jpg)\n\nUse a cookie scoop and scoop out some of the meat, forming it into a 2-inch meatball. Repeat until all of the meat has been formed into meatballs, and line them up on the baking sheet. You should get approximately 28-30 small meatballs. Then, transfer them to the oven and allow them to bake for 15-20 minutes.\n## How to Make These Tender & Flavorful Swedish Meatballs\nTo make these meatballs, start by preheating your oven to 400ºF.

The two meats together add the best flavor, so be sure not to skip out on using both of them! Italian Parsley: Fresh Italian parsley not only adds a pop of color to these meatballs, but also adds the best finishing touch. Onion: You’ll need one onion for these meatballs – I recommend using a yellow onion here. Garlic: I highly recommend using fresh garlic here, for the best flavor. Spices: You’ll need a combination of nutmeg, allspice, kosher salt, and ground black pepper, in order to make these meatballs. Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko bread crumbs add texture to these meatballs and help them stay together. If you prefer, you can also substitute these out for gluten-free breadcrumbs instead. Eggs: Eggs work as the binder, to keep these meatballs together. Olive Oil: A little bit of olive oil helps the meatballs stay together. Butter: The secret to making a rich and creamy sauce? It’s butter! All-Purpose Flour: The flour makes the sauce nice and thick, so that it can fully coat the meatballs. You can also opt to use gluten-free flour here, if you prefer. Beef Broth: Rich beef broth adds a delicious flavor to the sauce. I like to use Kettle & Fire beef bone both for added protein and flavor. Dijon Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a delicious tang to the sauce. Don’t skip this! Heavy Cream: A little heavy cream makes the sauce perfectly creamy! You can also substitute full fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option! Egg Noodles: Meatballs with noodles is a classic combination! I recommend using egg noodles, for this recipe. Use a cookie scoop and scoop out some of the meat, forming it into a 2-inch meatball. Repeat until all of the meat has been formed into meatballs, and line them up on the baking sheet. You should get approximately 28-30 small meatballs. Then, transfer them to the oven and allow them to bake for 15-20 minutes.

While most kids ask for pizza or mac n’ cheese, there is nothing that Hunter loves more than [meatballs](https://kalejunkie.com/the-ultimate-meatball-recipe/) and noodles. Since he loves this dish so much, I’ve spent SO much time creating the perfect recipe, to ensure that it satisfies his cravings, every time! And, as it turns out, both of my boys can’t get enough of this recipe. These [meatballs](https://kalejunkie.com/italian-wedding-soup/) are not just an incredible recipe – they also happen to be my take on the classic IKEA Swedish meatballs. If you’ve never had the food at the IKEA cafe, then you are missing out. Their Swedish meatballs are classic for a reason. They’re tender on the inside, with the perfect crust on the outside. But dare I say… my version is even better. That’s because these meatballs are served alongside a rich and creamy [sauce](https://kalejunkie.com/one-pan-saucy-coconut-chicken/) that is truly so good, that you could drink it. I mean that! Plus, when served atop a bed of fluffy [egg noodles](https://kalejunkie.com/cozy-turkey-noodle-soup/)? It’s the perfect combination. Believe me when I say that you won’t be able to get enough of this recipe\! ![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs and noodles, laid out in individual bowls on a countertop](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-1-819x1024.jpg) To make these meatballs, you will need ground beef & pork, parsley onion, garlic, spices, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, olive oil, butter, flour, beef broth, dijon mustard, heavy cream, and egg noodles. ![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs, added to a large bowl](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-2-819x1024.jpg) Start by preheating your oven to 400ºF.

Readable Markdown	There is no dish more cozy and comforting than tender Swedish Meatballs and noodles. This is my son Hunter’s Favorite Baked Swedish Meatballs & Noodles – a recipe that he requests weekly, in my household, and one that I have absolutely perfected! These meatballs are a better-for-you recipe inspired by the IKEA café classic recipe, and comes together with the creamiest, most delicious sauce. Your family is going to love it\! ![A pot, filled with the baked swedish meatballs, swimming in the sauce](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-5.jpg) Friends, whenever I ask my boys what they want for dinner, my youngest son, Hunter, requests the same dish: meatballs and noodles! While most kids ask for pizza or mac n’ cheese, there is nothing that Hunter loves more than [meatballs](https://kalejunkie.com/the-ultimate-meatball-recipe/) and noodles. Since he loves this dish so much, I’ve spent SO much time creating the perfect recipe, to ensure that it satisfies his cravings, every time! And, as it turns out, both of my boys can’t get enough of this recipe. These [meatballs](https://kalejunkie.com/italian-wedding-soup/) are not just an incredible recipe – they also happen to be my take on the classic IKEA Swedish meatballs. If you’ve never had the food at the IKEA cafe, then you are missing out. Their Swedish meatballs are classic for a reason. They’re tender on the inside, with the perfect crust on the outside. But dare I say… my version is even better. That’s because these meatballs are served alongside a rich and creamy [sauce](https://kalejunkie.com/one-pan-saucy-coconut-chicken/) that is truly so good, that you could drink it. I mean that! Plus, when served atop a bed of fluffy [egg noodles](https://kalejunkie.com/cozy-turkey-noodle-soup/)? It’s the perfect combination. Believe me when I say that you won’t be able to get enough of this recipe\! ![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs and noodles, laid out in individual bowls on a countertop](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-1-819x1024.jpg) To make these meatballs, you will need ground beef & pork, parsley onion, garlic, spices, panko breadcrumbs, eggs, olive oil, butter, flour, beef broth, dijon mustard, heavy cream, and egg noodles. ![All of the ingredients needed to make these swedish meatballs, added to a large bowl](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-2-819x1024.jpg) Start by preheating your oven to 400ºF. Then, add all of the meatball ingredients to a bowl and use your hands to work them together, until they’re fully combined. ## What You Need to Make These Classic Meatballs and Noodles - Ground Beef & Pork: The secret to making these meatballs is to use a combination of ground beef and ground pork. The two meats together add the best flavor, so be sure not to skip out on using both of them\! - Italian Parsley: Fresh Italian parsley not only adds a pop of color to these meatballs, but also adds the best finishing touch. - Onion: You’ll need one onion for these meatballs – I recommend using a yellow onion here. - Garlic: I highly recommend using fresh garlic here, for the best flavor. - Spices: You’ll need a combination of nutmeg, allspice, kosher salt, and ground black pepper, in order to make these meatballs. - Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko bread crumbs add texture to these meatballs and help them stay together. If you prefer, you can also substitute these out for gluten-free breadcrumbs instead. - Eggs: Eggs work as the binder, to keep these meatballs together. - Olive Oil: A little bit of olive oil helps the meatballs stay together. - Butter: The secret to making a rich and creamy sauce? It’s butter\! - All-Purpose Flour: The flour makes the sauce nice and thick, so that it can fully coat the meatballs. You can also opt to use gluten-free flour here, if you prefer. - Beef Broth: Rich beef broth adds a delicious flavor to the sauce. I like to use [Kettle & Fire](https://www.kettleandfire.com/products/grass-fed-beef-bone-broth?utm_source=google&utm_medium=paid&utm_campaign=15992919068&utm_content=138840691409&utm_term=kettle%20and%20fire&gadid=652222986624&gad_source=1&gclid=CjwKCAjw26KxBhBDEiwAu6KXt-2PCUdjMVGnPU9OjggAX3y_SLigrTovkARPnJTbrpVhidjE0UwgZhoCNaYQAvD_BwE) beef bone both for added protein and flavor. - Dijon Mustard: Dijon mustard adds a delicious tang to the sauce. Don’t skip this\! - Heavy Cream: A little heavy cream makes the sauce perfectly creamy! You can also substitute full fat coconut milk for a dairy-free option\! - Egg Noodles: Meatballs with noodles is a classic combination! I recommend using egg noodles, for this recipe. ![A baking sheet, topped with the formed swedish meatballs.](https://kalejunkie.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/04/KJ-Baked-Swedish-Meatballs-Noodles-3.jpg) Use a cookie scoop and scoop out some of the meat, forming it into a 2-inch meatball.
