What are Swedish Meatballs?

Swedish meatballs are slightly creamy in a brown gravy sauce. The sauce also has a different seasoning than traditional meatballs, adding a rich flavor. They are sometimes made with onion soup mix, instead of gravy.

Recipe Ingredients

• Meatballs – I am using frozen meatballs to save time, but you can make homemade meatballs. My favorite is Costco Italian meatballs, but any homestyle or Italian style will work great. These are usually made from ground beef and we use these same meatballs in our Barbecue Meatballs, or our Salisbury Steak Meatballs.
• Cornstarch – This helps to thicken the sauce.
• The Gravy – Water, beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, brown gravy mix and Worcestershire sauce. Sour cream is added just before serving (or heavy cream). Plain greek yogurt can be substituted for the sour cream if desired.
• Seasonings – Use dried parsley, garlic powder, onion powder and fresh parsley for garnishing

How to Make Swedish Meatballs in the Crockpot:

Step One – Combine the cornstarch and the water until smooth, then add the beef broth and stir. Add the meatballs.

Step Two -Add the seasonings, Worcestershire sauce, cream of mushroom soup, and gravy mix. Wait to add the sour cream.

Step Three – Stir together well; it’s ok if the cream of mushroom soup is chunky, it will melt during the cooking time.

Step Four – Place the lid on the slow cooker—cook on high for 3 hours or low for 5 hours. Stir occasionally during the last hour of cooking.

Step Five- Once the meatballs are done, stir in the sour cream (or heavy cream) and serve the meatballs over egg noodles and garnish with parsley.
