My husband loved it. I thought it was okay, but swedish meatballs is simply not one of my favorite meals. I liked browning the onions and pre-browning the meatballs. The meatballs turned out very soft. I didn't care for the texture and would have preferred a sturdier meatball and less bread\/milk\/onion and no egg. I am super picky about textures though, so while I gave this a 3, my husband was loving every bite and gave it two thumbs up. I scaled this down to only 3 servings and didn't use the pork or the optional ginger. I felt like the sauce needed more flavor and that it was a bit bland for my palate even with the sour cream. Adding some grated nutmeg would probably help and less sour cream. But again, my husband loved this and is delighted with leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. Overall this was a decent meal and I just didn't care for the too soft texture of the meatballs personally.\n\n03 of 125\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Debra\n\n08\/29\/2025\n\nA keeper\\!\n\nGreat flavors\n\nEasy to follow\n\nCrowd-pleaser\n\nFamily favorite\n\nVery good recipe....

The spices and sweet in the meatballs were divine! It took me longer than I thought it should have - I’ll try to organize better next time. We ate it so fast that I don’t have a great pic of the entire dish, but some on my plate before I finished it off. The only change I made to the recipe was that I used more meat as I knew my husband and son would want more. Otherwise, I followed it as the recipe outlined. I highly recommend this recipe! I served it over steamed rice, but it would go well over mashed or a baked potato as well.\n\n05 of 125\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  Stacy Piercy\n\n09\/23\/2023\n\nI think the meatballs were good but just too much gravy in proportion with the meatballs and too much sour cream. If I make this again, double the meatball part and add a couple extra pieces of bread to the mixture. When it comes down to the sour cream in the gravy I'm only going to use like 1\/4 cup. One cup is way too much.\n\n06 of 125\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  SillyOats7350\n\n11\/22\/2022\n\nWONDERFUL and so authentic. I love the simplicity of this recipe and the results were incredible: tender flavorful meatballs, a savory gravy, all atop fluffy, creamy egg noodles. The nutmeg is the star player and transforms the meatballs into an exotic comfort food. I followed the recipe closely but only added a quarter cup sour cream.Take note: The recipe AS IS will really only serve two adults and 2 children. After all, It’s only about a pound of meat, and roughly 30 tiny meatballs. They’re so delectable , you can seriously eat 8 meatballs, maybe more. I recommend getting a pound of pork and a pound of beef, and just doubling the recipe if you are feeding 4-6 adults. it reheats beautifully. I’m eating leftovers today and I swear it’s even better than yesterday. If you like Swedish meatballs, try this recipe. It’s a keeper\\!\n\n07 of 125\n\n![]()\n\nPhoto by  PuffyRibs3082\n\n07\/19\/2022\n\nWe loved it! Meatballs came out amazing.

My husband loved it. I thought it was okay, but swedish meatballs is simply not one of my favorite meals. I liked browning the onions and pre-browning the meatballs. The meatballs turned out very soft. I didn't care for the texture and would have preferred a sturdier meatball and less bread/milk/onion and no egg. I am super picky about textures though, so while I gave this a 3, my husband was loving every bite and gave it two thumbs up. I scaled this down to only 3 servings and didn't use the pork or the optional ginger. I felt like the sauce needed more flavor and that it was a bit bland for my palate even with the sour cream. Adding some grated nutmeg would probably help and less sour cream. But again, my husband loved this and is delighted with leftovers for his lunch tomorrow. Overall this was a decent meal and I just didn't care for the too soft texture of the meatballs personally. 03 of 125 ![]() Photo by Debra 08/29/2025 A keeper\! Great flavors Easy to follow Crowd-pleaser Family favorite Very good recipe.... I think I will omit the Brown sugar next time though. My Guys really enjoyed it. 04 of 125 ![]() Photo by Cindy Hatch Derrico 02/19/2024 A keeper\! Great flavors Worth the effort Crowd-pleaser Oh my goodness, this was so delicious! The spices and sweet in the meatballs were divine! It took me longer than I thought it should have - I’ll try to organize better next time. We ate it so fast that I don’t have a great pic of the entire dish, but some on my plate before I finished it off. The only change I made to the recipe was that I used more meat as I knew my husband and son would want more. Otherwise, I followed it as the recipe outlined. I highly recommend this recipe! I served it over steamed rice, but it would go well over mashed or a baked potato as well. 05 of 125 ![]() Photo by Stacy Piercy 09/23/2023 I think the meatballs were good but just too much gravy in proportion with the meatballs and too much sour cream. If I make this again, double the meatball part and add a couple extra pieces of bread to the mixture. When it comes down to the sour cream in the gravy I'm only going to use like 1/4 cup. One cup is way too much. 06 of 125 ![]() Photo by SillyOats7350 11/22/2022 WONDERFUL and so authentic. I love the simplicity of this recipe and the results were incredible: tender flavorful meatballs, a savory gravy, all atop fluffy, creamy egg noodles. The nutmeg is the star player and transforms the meatballs into an exotic comfort food. I followed the recipe closely but only added a quarter cup sour cream.Take note: The recipe AS IS will really only serve two adults and 2 children. After all, It’s only about a pound of meat, and roughly 30 tiny meatballs. They’re so delectable , you can seriously eat 8 meatballs, maybe more. I recommend getting a pound of pork and a pound of beef, and just doubling the recipe if you are feeding 4-6 adults. it reheats beautifully. I’m eating leftovers today and I swear it’s even better than yesterday. If you like Swedish meatballs, try this recipe. It’s a keeper\! 07 of 125 ![]() Photo by PuffyRibs3082 07/19/2022 We loved it!
