Had these for dinner last night and absolutely delish, nothing leftover which is always a good sign.
Thanks for posting.

Cooked these tonight for dinner.  The 16 month old is still at the table eating more!!  The 3 and 4 year olds both ate lots too.  We had it with rice and Cranberry Sauce instead of Lingonberry Jam - a good substitute!

Yum, thanks for this recipe

Made this for dinner last night. Got all the way to the last step where you add the cream and thought "where did I add the first lot of cream?" Went to the original recipe and found that the bread should have been soaked in the cream before making into crumbs. Oh well, it still tasted great without that.

Must admit I was a little worried about the little amount of liquid used to steam the meatballs and checked on it a few times. No problems there! I added steamed vegetables to the varoma at step 6 and also added a little extra stock paste in the last step as I felt it was a little bland. I was also very generous with some pepper as well. All in all a very quick and tasty meal. Thanks for posting!

Just made these this morning to take on holidays. Yes I went back to the original recipe & soaked the breadcrumbs in the cream. I made 20 balls. Of course had to do the taste test. Very nice & very easy.

I browned the balls under the grill, but didnt  bother to turn over, they were great.

Will sprinkle with parmesan cheese when serving

Will be another regular dish.

Thanks

Just had these for dinner. They froze perfectly & tasted fantastic.

All gone between the 3 of us in 1 setting.

Served with fettucini, too tired to do veggies, but absolutely delish.

No offence Hally and coming from me who also has young children, you can't use Parmesan on Swedish meatballs! It is sacrilegious!
I admit we use Parmesan on practically everything as my kids love it- or as they say " mum, can we have some more smelly sock cheese?".
My kids absolutely inhale Swedish meatballs no matter which recipe I use and the sauce either with rice or noodles is delicious.
As I said, please don't be offended as you can cook any way you like , but to me, Swedish meatballs with Parmesan are no longer classified as Swedish meatballs!

No offence, they were lovely, only thing lacking was black pepper as i bust that shaker too.

Just a small amout, goes so well with cream, yum, yum, yum

Making these for the first time and also got caught out with the first lot of cream - I just added it to the mince before I made them into balls.  I will amend the recipe so no-one else gets caught out   Back later with a review.

Must say I was surprised at how good these were, not being a meatball person and all    Sometimes you just do things for your DH but I loved these.  I did add a secret ingredient to the sauce(well, not so secret really) after reading a comment that it was a bit bland.  Tenina's caramelised garlic paste, my new best friend in the taste department - added 1 tsp to double quantity of the sauce and it was the tastiest gravy which of course then ups the flavour of the meatballs themselves.  Maybe not authentic but who's telling   Put the smallish cubes of potato & thin slices carrot in the varoma bowl and pumpkin and zucchini on the tray - cooked them for 10 minutes before placing the steaming basket in the TM bowl for the 20 minutes cooking time for the meatballs.
