My father used to make these tender meatballs every year for Christmas when I was a kid. Now I carry on the tradition, and everyone still loves them.

My entire family, including my picky 11 year old son, loved this recipe!! That is rare in our house--and everyone wanted more...and more. It is really nice if you prepare it in a cast iron skillet so it browns really well. Outstanding flavor!

Moist, delicious. Definitely saving recipe and will make again -- throw out the old meatball recipes. I used all beef, and half & half since I did not have ground pork or cream. I used some older soft bread, used a grater and easy quick soft fread crumbs! I baked them in the oven @ 350 for about 20 minutes, turning once. These will be easy to make ahead, freeze, reheat when making gravy and serve! Fantastic swedish meatballs.

I loved this recipe and so did my husband. The only thing I added was some Kitchen Bouquet browning sauce to the gravy. My husband really loved it and we're having it for dinner again!

So nummy! I only made the gravy and used frozen meatballs and served over noodles. My husband is a picky eater and he said it was by far the best meal I've made in a long time.

Delicious. But I agree with one of the other reviewers to leave out the salt. The first time I made it, I needed to drink a gallon of water afterwards. :) I leave out the salt in the meatballs and sauce; since I use salted butter and canned broth, it is find without it. So delicious!!

I love this recipe. I often use the sauce recipe and use frozen meatballs. I didn't think the sauce was too salty, it always turns out perfect for me

These were good. I used only beef and substituted old fashioned oats for the bread crumbs. The only thing I would change would be to slightly increase the nutmeg in the meatballs and omit the salt in the sauce; it was too salty. Other than that, these were good over egg noodles.
