Ingredients You’ll Need

This basic dish calls for only a few ingredients. Here are the major items you'll need:

• Lean Ground Beef - It prevents the meatballs from becoming oily while maintaining their tenderness. Since ground turkey doesn't have the same flavor as the original recipe, I don't advise using it in place of it.
• Beef Broth - The best flavor will come from beef broth, but if necessary, you can use chicken broth instead. Though not quite the classic flavor, it's still great. I made my stock here using two stock cubes and boiling water. If you would like, you can use store-bought or homemade liquid stock.
• Cream of Mushroom Soup - This adds a rich, creamy texture to the sauce.
• Brown Gravy Packet
• Water
• Garlic Powder - You could also use fresh garlic. It adds flavor to the meatballs.
• Evaporated Milk - Although using whole or reduced-fat milks will result in a thinner sauce, the consistency will be less consistent. for the gravy's creamy texture. You can either use heavy cream or sour cream as an alternative.
• Olive Oil.

How To Make Swedish Meatballs

1. Heat the meatballs in a big skillet with a little olive oil over medium heat until they are thoroughly heated.
2. While whisking, gradually add the cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy packet, galic powder, water, and beef broth until the mixture is smooth. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add the meatballs and simmer for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring regularly, until heated through and thickened.
3. Turn the heat down to low and cover. Add the evaporated milk and stir often until the gravy thickens and the meatballs achieve an internal temperature of 165°F on a meat thermometer. Then cook for 4–5 hours on low or 2 hours on high.
4. Serve the meatballs with egg noodles and mashed potatoes once they are cooked through and garnished with fresh parsley.
