 This is for Ross, our son-in-law. He said his Grandma used to make Swedish meatballs, I had a flashback!!! I used to make these little yummy balls for my family when I was in high school and continued making them after I was working in the 1970's. They are quick and yummy! I am not sure where my recipe came from, as I was in Home Economics in high school, and think possibly it came from class handouts?? I remembered a lot of the ingredients and tweeked it, to bring it into this decade!! 


Swedish Meatballs

• 1 lb. ground beef
• 1 C. minute rice
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 T. minced onion 
• 1 T. chopped parsley
• 1 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 T Worcestershire sauce
• Dash of pepper
• 1/2 C. milk

 Sauce:

2 T. butter

olive oil

1 1/2 tablespoons flour (any kind)

1 cup chicken broth

1/2 cup sour cream

1. Combine egg, beef, rice, onion, parsley, salt, nutmeg, pepper and milk, mixing lightly but thoroughly. Shape into 24 small balls. Place in a skillet.

2. Place olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs for about 10 minutes.

3. Remove them and most of the fat. Stir the flour and the butter into the pan. Cook the flour for a minute...this prevents lumps.

4. Slowly while stirring add the broth. Simmer until it thickens, about 2 minutes.

5. Strain it with a sieve to remove any clumps. Return it to the pan.

6. Reduce heat to low; stir in the sour cream.

7. Return the meatballs to the pan for 1 minute.
