Classic Swedish Meatballs
Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1/2 pound ground pork
  • 1/2 cup chopped onion
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 2 cups boiling water
  • 3/4 cup sour cream
Instructions
1
Preheat your oven to a moderate heat setting of 350 degrees Fahrenheit (175 degrees Celsius).
2
To prevent the dish from sticking, lightly coat a 9x13 inch baking vessel with a thin layer of cooking oil.
3
In a spacious mixing bowl, merge ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg, and milk. Add a sprinkle of parsley, a dash of Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Combine the ingredients using your hands until they are evenly blended.
4
Shape the mixture into small, walnut-sized balls and arrange them on the prepared baking dish.
5
Bake the meatballs in a preheated oven for 30 minutes, ensuring they brown uniformly on all sides by rotating the dish periodically.
6
To prepare the sauce, heat oil in a small saucepan over medium heat. Gradually add flour, paprika, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 1 teaspoon of pepper. Continue cooking until the mixture starts to sizzle.
7
Stir in hot water and sour cream, blending the sauce until it reaches a smooth consistency. Bring the mixture to a heated state.
8
Once the meatballs have cooked for 30 minutes, pour the prepared sauce over them. Return the dish to the oven and bake for an additional 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
