Ingredients

• 1 pound Ground beef
• 0.5 pound Ground pork
• 1 medium Onion, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs
• 1 large Egg
• 0.25 cup Milk
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground allspice
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Beef broth
• 0.5 cup Heavy cream
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, breadcrumbs, egg, milk, ground allspice, ground nutmeg, salt, and black pepper.

Step 2

Mix the ingredients gently with your hands until just combined. Do not overmix to avoid tough patties.

Step 3

Form the mixture into 8 small, evenly sized patties and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the patties in batches and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until browned and cooked through. Remove the patties from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter and melt it over medium heat.

Step 6

Sprinkle the flour into the skillet and whisk continuously for 1-2 minutes to form a roux.

Step 7

Gradually pour the beef broth into the skillet while whisking to avoid lumps. Allow the mixture to simmer for 3-4 minutes, or until it thickens slightly.

Step 8

Stir in the heavy cream and season the gravy with salt and black pepper to taste.

Step 9

Return the cooked patties to the skillet, spoon the gravy over them, and simmer for 5 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

Step 10

Serve the Swedish hamburgers hot, garnished with chopped parsley if desired. They pair well with mashed potatoes, lingonberry jam, or a side of roasted vegetables.
