Swedish Meatballs Recipe
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 1 hour
Total Time: 1 hour 15 minutes
Yield: Serves 4
Ingredients:
- 4 eggs
- 1 cup milk
- 8 slices white bread, torn into small pieces
- 2 pounds ground beef
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 4 tablespoons shortening
- 1 (12-ounce) can evaporated milk
- 1 can cream of mushroom soup
- 1 can cream of chicken soup
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- In a large bowl, beat the eggs and milk together.
- Add the torn bread pieces to the bowl, mix gently, and let it stand for 5 minutes to absorb the liquid.
- Add the ground beef, chopped onion, baking powder, salt, and pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together thoroughly; the mixture will be soft. Shape the mixture into 1-inch meatballs.
- In a large skillet, heat the shortening over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs in batches, a few at a time, until they are evenly browned on all sides. Transfer the browned meatballs to an ungreased 3-quart baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the evaporated milk, cream of mushroom soup, and cream of chicken soup until smooth. Pour this mixture evenly over the meatballs in the baking dish.
- Bake the meatballs, uncovered, at 350°F (175°C) for 1 hour, or until the meatballs are cooked through and the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Remove the Swedish meatballs from the oven and sprinkle them with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
