In a large pot, drizzle in the vegetable oil, and heat it up over medium-high heat.

Form small meatballs from the meat mixture, then fry them in the pan for about a minute on each side.

Next, add in beef broth, half & half, 2 tbsp butter, the remaining seasoning salt and pepper, and stir.

Basic Meatball Making Tips

I have a few simple tips on making meatballs back with flavor. Tip number one: use quality meat. Try to to pick out the best packages of meat possible when you’re making meatballs, especially when it comes to this swedish meatball recipe. Don’t use meats that are too lean, otherwise the meatballs will taste pretty dry, and your dish will be ruined. When it comes to beef, don’t use anything higher than 85/15. I’d say the same thing with ground turkey. If you can, also try to use fresh meat when it comes to this recipe. Don’t use old meat that’s been sitting it the freezer forever. Last, but not least use breadcrumbs instead of flour. Flour doesn’t really add texture to meatballs. If you want amazing texture, I recommend using bread crumbs or panko.

Cooking Swedish Meatball

You can cook meatballs several ways. You can bake them in the oven on a baking sheet, or you can fry them in a large skillet like I will be doing for this recipe. I simply make a medium size meatballs, and cook them in several batches on the stovetop over medium heat. I keep all of the pan drippings from the meatballs in the pan, and use it as one of the ingredients for the swedish meatball sauce.

Sauce

The sauce made for this dish is a simple one. It’s made from the meatball drippings, half & half, and a few other ingredients. Some recipes call for heavy cream, however I find that half & half certainly does the job! The sauce thickens as this dish cooks, and it tastes amazing over egg noodles!
