Traditional swedish meatballs as I as swede grow up with 
Simple, ordinary, good! Traditional meatballs that taste great and are easy to build.
You need :
The recipe is for 4 people.
* 200 grams minced pork
* 300 grams ground beef
* ½ cup bread crumbs or crumbled bread
* ½ onion (2 tablespoons finely chopped onion)
* 1 cup milk
* 1 egg
* About 1 teaspoon salt
* White pepper
Follow these steps:
30-40 pieces
Mix the milk with the breadcrumbs and let soak a few minutes. Peel and finely chop the onion. Put all the ingredients in a bowl and stir into a smooth batter. You may allow the batter to stand and rest a while before you handle it.
Roll into round balls and place on a platter or cutting board. Wet your hands to make it easier to roll the buns.
Fry them in butter / margarine into a large skillet. Start by frying at medium temperature and then lower to low heat and allow the buns to be completely done. Time depends on the size of the buns. But at slightly lower heat, it usually takes 50-10 minutes to cook.
Serve with classic mashed potatoes, gravy and lingonberries. Or with with pasta, salad and grated cheese. Or why not make a meatball sandwich?

Real live swedish meatballs! I must try this recipe. Thank you Linda
Interesting. All the American Swedish Meatball recipes I know of call for sour cream and mushroom sauce over noodles.
Hi Linda,
yum! Thank you for sharing this one. I will make it myself (soon I hope).
Best regards, Andrew
Thanks Andrew *hugs*
Kathryn mushroomsause could work but noodles isn’t a traditional version to meatballs here
Man, my grandmomma was from Sicily and she made the most amazing meatballs I ever tasted, like you had died and gone to meatball heaven. Sadly, she died last year and she didnt leave a single recipe for us so I’ve been trying to figure it out by myself… slowly working my through the meatball recipes here, I still cant figure out what her secret ingredient was though!!!
