About Swedish meatballs

Swedish Meatballs, a classic dish from Sweden, are tender, flavorful meatballs typically made from a mixture of ground beef and pork, breadcrumbs, eggs, onion, and warm spices like allspice or nutmeg. They are traditionally served with a creamy, savory gravy and accompanied by lingonberry jam and a side of mashed potatoes or egg noodles. While Swedish Meatballs are a good source of protein from the meat and eggs, they can be high in saturated fat due to the cream-based sauce and the fat content in the meat. Moderation and lean meat options can make them a healthier choice. Rich in flavor and rooted in comforting Scandinavian cuisine, this dish offers a balance of sweet and savory tastes, making it both a satisfying treat and a cultural staple.
