Swedish Meatballs

One of my favorite dishes is Swedish Meatballs. This one is made with sour cream, noodles and frozen meatballs. If you want, make homemade meatballs.

  • Slowly whisk flour into the butter to create the roux. Stir until creamy and is the color of coffee with cream.

  • Add beef stock slowly, while continuously stirring/whisking. Keep adding until the sauce becomes silky. Be careful not to let the roux seize up. If it starts to seize up, add more liquid and stir faster. :) **My apologies for no picture here. I was assisting this part.
  • Add sour cream and stir until combined well. This will lighten the color of your sauce. NOTE: The sauce will still be thin here.

Notes

This can be served with lingonberry or blackberry jam, which is the traditional way. I just don't like jam with mine.
