Open in Pepper →Swedish meatballs are the kind of supper that feels like more work than it is. A pan of gravy, a bag of meatballs or a bowl of ground beef and pork, and dinner is handled.
Cooks on Pepper reach for this collection on the nights that got away from them — practice ran late, nobody planned ahead, and the slow cooker or one skillet has to carry the whole meal.
Every recipe here is a real version someone makes at home, from Crock Pot Swedish Meatballs with cream of mushroom soup to from-scratch Swedish Meatballs with panko and grated onion, plus Swedish Meatballs and Gnocchi and a Swedish Meatball Noodle Bake.
Brown the meatballs first
Even frozen ones, give them 5 to 6 minutes in a hot skillet with a little oil so the gravy has some browned bits to build on.
Grate the onion
For scratch meatballs, grate a small onion on the large holes instead of chopping so it melts in and keeps the mix tender.
Add sour cream off heat
Stir in the sour cream after you pull the pan off the burner so the gravy stays smooth instead of breaking.
Cook noodles just under
Boil egg noodles about 2 minutes short of the package time if they are going into a bake, since they keep softening in the oven.
