Our kids—Garrett, 10, and Heather, 5—love to roll the ground beef and pork mixture into these moist meatballs. We enjoy them prepared in a creamy gravy. But the frozen meatballs also are great additions to soups and stews, or to stir into spaghetti sauce and serve over pasta. —Stacy Thomas Anchorage, Alaska

This recipe was a HUGE hit with my family. Even my youngest daughter who is going through a picky phase loved it and asked for seconds! After reading some of the other reviews, I did double the sauce ingredients which worked out perfectly for us.

AWESOME ! I will make these again. I would use 3pkgs. gravy with more sour cream for more sauce next time. I also added freeze dried chives...yumm!!

Lots of flavor. I added sautéd Crimini Mushrooms to the sauce. I used 1 & 1/2 packets of gravy mix and three meats: ground pork, beef and turkey.My mom has been really picky in her Senior years and she said that this was great and that we should keep this in regular dinner rotation!

Was excellent, I did use an extra packet of gravy and next time will probably do 3, we really loved the sauce. The meatballs were great, the kids loved it!

Very flavourful meatballs and I love having enough to freeze also. Will definitely make this again but will double up on the sauce and add more sour cream next time.

I have made this recipe many times. It is a family hit! When I am pinched for time, I used the frozen italian meatballs instead. I also double the sauce, but that's just our preference because we love the sauce so much!

Although I didn't try the sauce, I was looking for a pork/beef mixture for meatballs and decided to try this recipe. The flavor was outstanding and since they "all wouldn't fit into the container" (my hubby's words) he had to make the supreme sacrifice of eating 8 of them right away! This will definitely be my go to recipe for meatballs.

I don't ever remember liking Swedish Meatballs when I was younger but I decided to try it now that I appreciate a variety of dishes. I can honestly say these are the BEST swedish meatballs I have ever had! In fact, my whole family wondered at the flavor of these! The only thing I changed was the amount of sour cream (I put a whole cup) because the amount in the recipe yielded very little gravy. But other than that---absolute perfection. Thank you for this recipe! It is now a regular tradition in our home.
