This Swedish meatball sauce recipe is the way to go for easy Swedish meatballs — they're ready to serve over egg noodles or rice in just 20 minutes.\nWith the simple shortcut of using frozen meatballs, you'll have a flavorful and family-friendly meal on the table in no time at all. Sign us up!\nWhat's in Swedish Meatball Sauce?\nSwedish meatball sauce is made up of just a few pantry staple ingredients:\nBeef Stock\nBeef stock gives the sauce its savory, meaty flavor.\nHeavy Cream\nHeavy cream ensures the sauce will be rich, smooth, and creamy.\nFlour\nA little bit of all-purpose flour will thicken the sauce to the perfect consistency.\nSoy Sauce\nSoy sauce adds salt and an umami-rich flavor.\nSpices\nBlack pepper and rosemary are all you'll need for this simple Swedish meatball sauce.\nMeatballs\nOf course, you'll need meatballs. This recipe uses frozen cooked meatballs, but you can use homemade meatballs too.\nHow to Thicken Swedish Meatball Sauce\nThe all-purpose flour in this recipe should do the trick to thicken your Swedish meatball sauce to the right consistency. But if it doesn't, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons of water) to thicken it up.\nWhat to Serve with Swedish Meatball Sauce\nThe most common way to eat Swedish meatballs is over egg noodles or rice. You can also serve them individually, threaded through a toothpick, as an appetizer.\nIf you're looking for a side for Swedish meatballs over noodles or rice, you can try one of these light dishes.\nRoasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli\nRoasted Vegetables\nCaesar Salad Supreme\nOr, explore our entire collection of\nside dishes\n.\nHow to Store Swedish Meatballs\nStore Swedish meatball sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days. Reheat in a saucepan or microwave.\nCan You Freeze Swedish Meatball Sauce?\nUnfortunately, this Swedish meatball sauce doesn't freeze well. Heavy cream has a tendency to separate over time and can ruin the consistency of your sauce.\nAllrecipes Community Tips and Praise\n\"Just made this up for supper tonight. Absolutely wonderful, and not to mention soooo easy. Added thyme instead of rosemary, teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of nutmeg. I keep putting the spoon into it and licking it clean,\" says\nOODLES_OR\n.\n\"This Recipe was awesome. It happens to be my son's favorite now. The only thing that we changed was we didn't add Rosemary and we didn't put as much pepper in. The second time we made it, we fully cooked the meatballs. Instead of having them just thawed and then we added it to the sauce and cooked on low for 5 minutes and they turned out perfect. We will definitely be making this again,\" according to\nConnie\n.\n\"This was so easy and yummy! Even my 5-year-old scarfed it down! I used chicken stock because that's what I had on hand and a sauteed onion. I ended up using a whole 20-ounce bag of meatballs because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted leftovers. Loved this simple delicious recipe,\" raves\nHudson's Mama\n.\nEditorial contributions by\nBailey Fink\nKeep Screen Awake\nIngredients\n1\/2x\n1x\n2x\nOriginal recipe (1X) yields 4 servings\n1\ncup\nbeef stock\n1\ncup\nheavy cream\n3\ntablespoons\nall-purpose flour\n1\ntablespoon\nsoy sauce\n½\nteaspoon\nground black pepper, or more to taste\n½\nteaspoon\ndried rosemary, crushed, or more to taste\n10\nounces\nfrozen cooked meatballs, thawed\nDirections\nGather all ingredients.\nDotdash Meredith Food Studios\nWhisk together stock, cream, flour, soy sauce, 1\/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1\/2 teaspoon rosemary in a large saucepan over low heat until smooth.\nDotdash Meredith Food Studios\nCook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.\nDotdash Meredith Food Studios\nStir in thawed meatballs, and continue cooking until meatballs are heated through, about 5 more minutes.

Sign us up\\!\n\n## What's in Swedish Meatball Sauce?\nSwedish meatball sauce is made up of just a few pantry staple ingredients:\n\n**Beef Stock**  \nBeef stock gives the sauce its savory, meaty flavor.\n\n**Heavy Cream**  \nHeavy cream ensures the sauce will be rich, smooth, and creamy.\n\n**Flour**  \nA little bit of all-purpose flour will thicken the sauce to the perfect consistency.\n\n**Soy Sauce**  \nSoy sauce adds salt and an umami-rich flavor.\n\n**Spices**  \nBlack pepper and rosemary are all you'll need for this simple Swedish meatball sauce.\n\n**Meatballs**  \nOf course, you'll need meatballs. This recipe uses frozen cooked meatballs, but you can use homemade meatballs too.\n\n## How to Thicken Swedish Meatball Sauce\nThe all-purpose flour in this recipe should do the trick to thicken your Swedish meatball sauce to the right consistency. But if it doesn't, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons of water) to thicken it up.\n\n## What to Serve with Swedish Meatball Sauce\nThe most common way to eat Swedish meatballs is over egg noodles or rice. You can also serve them individually, threaded through a toothpick, as an appetizer.\n\nIf you're looking for a side for Swedish meatballs over noodles or rice, you can try one of these light dishes.\n\n[Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/144346\/roasted-garlic-lemon-broccoli\/)  \n[Roasted Vegetables](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/9377\/roasted-vegetables\/)  \n[Caesar Salad Supreme](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipe\/14172\/caesar-salad-supreme\/)\n\nOr, explore our entire collection of [side dishes](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/recipes\/81\/side-dish\/).\n\n## How to Store Swedish Meatballs\nStore Swedish meatball sauce in an airtight container in the fridge for three to four days. Reheat in a saucepan or microwave.\n\n## Can You Freeze Swedish Meatball Sauce?\nUnfortunately, this Swedish meatball sauce doesn't freeze well. Heavy cream has a tendency to separate over time and can ruin the consistency of your sauce.\n\n## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise\n\"Just made this up for supper tonight. Absolutely wonderful, and not to mention soooo easy. Added thyme instead of rosemary, teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of nutmeg. I keep putting the spoon into it and licking it clean,\" says [OODLES\\_OR](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/cook\/557764).\n\n\"This Recipe was awesome. It happens to be my son's favorite now. The only thing that we changed was we didn't add Rosemary and we didn't put as much pepper in. The second time we made it, we fully cooked the meatballs. Instead of having them just thawed and then we added it to the sauce and cooked on low for 5 minutes and they turned out perfect. We will definitely be making this again,\" according to [Connie](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/cook\/15046439).\n\n\"This was so easy and yummy! Even my 5-year-old scarfed it down! I used chicken stock because that's what I had on hand and a sauteed onion. I ended up using a whole 20-ounce bag of meatballs because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted leftovers. Loved this simple delicious recipe,\" raves [Hudson's Mama](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/cook\/2300031).\n\nEditorial contributions by [**Bailey Fink**](https:\/\/www.allrecipes.com\/author\/bailey-fink\/)\n\nKeep Screen Awake\n\n## Ingredients\n1\/2x\n\n1x\n\n2x\n\nOops!

This Swedish meatball sauce recipe is the way to go for easy Swedish meatballs — they're ready to serve over egg noodles or rice in just 20 minutes. With the simple shortcut of using frozen meatballs, you'll have a flavorful and family-friendly meal on the table in no time at all. Sign us up\! ## What's in Swedish Meatball Sauce? Swedish meatball sauce is made up of just a few pantry staple ingredients: **Beef Stock** Beef stock gives the sauce its savory, meaty flavor. **Heavy Cream** Heavy cream ensures the sauce will be rich, smooth, and creamy. **Flour** A little bit of all-purpose flour will thicken the sauce to the perfect consistency. **Soy Sauce** Soy sauce adds salt and an umami-rich flavor. **Spices** Black pepper and rosemary are all you'll need for this simple Swedish meatball sauce. **Meatballs** Of course, you'll need meatballs. This recipe uses frozen cooked meatballs, but you can use homemade meatballs too. ## How to Thicken Swedish Meatball Sauce The all-purpose flour in this recipe should do the trick to thicken your Swedish meatball sauce to the right consistency. But if it doesn't, you can add a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch to 2 tablespoons of water) to thicken it up. ## What to Serve with Swedish Meatball Sauce The most common way to eat Swedish meatballs is over egg noodles or rice. You can also serve them individually, threaded through a toothpick, as an appetizer. If you're looking for a side for Swedish meatballs over noodles or rice, you can try one of these light dishes.

Reheat in a saucepan or microwave. ## Can You Freeze Swedish Meatball Sauce? Unfortunately, this Swedish meatball sauce doesn't freeze well. Heavy cream has a tendency to separate over time and can ruin the consistency of your sauce. ## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "Just made this up for supper tonight. Absolutely wonderful, and not to mention soooo easy. Added thyme instead of rosemary, teaspoon of garlic powder and a pinch of nutmeg. I keep putting the spoon into it and licking it clean," says [OODLES\_OR](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/557764). "This Recipe was awesome. It happens to be my son's favorite now. The only thing that we changed was we didn't add Rosemary and we didn't put as much pepper in. The second time we made it, we fully cooked the meatballs. Instead of having them just thawed and then we added it to the sauce and cooked on low for 5 minutes and they turned out perfect. We will definitely be making this again," according to [Connie](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/15046439). "This was so easy and yummy! Even my 5-year-old scarfed it down! I used chicken stock because that's what I had on hand and a sauteed onion. I ended up using a whole 20-ounce bag of meatballs because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted leftovers. Loved this simple delicious recipe," raves [Hudson's Mama](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/2300031).

The only thing that we changed was we didn't add Rosemary and we didn't put as much pepper in. The second time we made it, we fully cooked the meatballs. Instead of having them just thawed and then we added it to the sauce and cooked on low for 5 minutes and they turned out perfect. We will definitely be making this again," according to [Connie](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/15046439). "This was so easy and yummy! Even my 5-year-old scarfed it down! I used chicken stock because that's what I had on hand and a sauteed onion. I ended up using a whole 20-ounce bag of meatballs because there was plenty of sauce and I wanted leftovers. Loved this simple delicious recipe," raves [Hudson's Mama](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/2300031).
