Ingredients
Copycat Ikea Meatballs
- 1 lb ground beef
- ½ lb ground pork
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1 tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ tsp salt
- ⅔ cup breadcrumbs
- 1 egg
- 5 TBSP milk
Instructions
- Prep: In a large bowl, combine the beef, pork, onion powder, garlic salt, pepper, salt, egg, breadcrumbs, and milk until well incorporated. Once the mixture is all combined, roll into small balls, about 1 inch or so.
- Cook: Heat a large skillet over medium heat and work in batches to cook the meatballs. Cook each about 8 minutes turning frequently until brown on all sides and cooked through. Remove the meatballs from the pan and set aside.
- Gravy: Wipe the pan out and return back to the stove. Melt the butter over medium heat and whisk in the flour. Cook the flour mixture for 1 minute. Slowly whisk in the vegetable stock, then the beef stock. Whisk until the mixture comes back up to a low boil. Whisk in the heavy cream, bring back up to a slow boil to thicken.
- Add the Swedish meatballs to the gravy or serve all separately over mashed potatoes. Enjoy!
