Place all of the ingredients for the meatballs in a large bowl. Using your hands, mix it all together thoroughly. Just make sure to not over-mix it or the meatballs could get tough. Roll the meat into 1 1/2-inch balls and place them on a baking sheet, making sure they don't touch. You may need to use more than one pan. You should get about 46 meatballs. Bake in preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until cooked through. For the gravy: Meanwhile, as the meatballs are baking, make the gravy. Melt the butter in a large pot over medium heat. Whisk in the flour, salt and pepper. Cook for 2 minutes, whisking frequently. Pour in 1 cup of milk while whisking, then pour in the remaining milk. Whisk until smooth. Cook, stirring frequently, until mixture thickens and comes to a boil. Boil and whisk for 1 minutes. Remove from heat. Add meatballs and stir to coat in the gravy. Garnish with parsley if desired. Serve over mashed potatoes with lingonberry sauce off to the side. *** This is going to sound so cliché, but the first time I remember trying Swedish meatballs was at IKEA. I had never been to that iconic store before, and to get the full experience I ate at the food court. The meatballs were so yummy that I bought a bag of them in the frozen section. It was an easy and yummy supper to have on hand. Sadly, the nearest IKEA to us is hours away. So I had to figure out a way to recreate them at home to get my Swedish meatball fix. I’m going to admit from the get-go that my goal in developing this recipe was not to recreate the most authentic Swedish meatballs known to man. My goal was scrumptious Swedish meatballs that are easy enough for a weeknight meal. The thought of standing over a hot, greasy stove frying multiple batches of meatballs scares me off on most nights. It’s not something I want to attempt with a small baby in my care. But a few years ago I discovered something awesome: you can bake meatballs! This was a game changer for me, and meant that we could enjoy Swedish meatballs more than a couple of times a year. So here’s my recipe for Easy Baked Swedish Meatballs\!
