Description

Beef, pork, and bread crumbs form these easy, authentic Swedish meatballs simmered in a sour cream sauce just like Grandma's.

Ingredients

1 pound ground beef
1/2 pound bulk pork sausage
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon vegetable oil, or as needed
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup sour cream
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon paprika
1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper

Directions

1 Mix beef, sausage, bread crumbs, onion, milk, egg, parsley, salt, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper in a large bowl. Form into meatballs.
2 Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry meatballs in batches, turning as needed, until browned and heated through, 6 to 8 minutes.
3 Mix boiling water, sour cream, flour, paprika, and pepper together in a deep saucepan over low heat. Add the meatballs and let simmer until thickened and heated through, 15 to 20 minutes.
