Mom fixed these meatballs for all sorts of family dinners, potluck suppers and PTA meetings, The scent of browning meat is intoxicating. Add to that the sweet perfume of onions caramelizing, and everyone’s mouth starts watering. —Marybeth Mank, Mesquite, Texas

Loved this and very easy. I made the meatballs ahead of time and froze them so I had them ready to go when I made the recipe the following week. Used ground sirloin to cut down on fat. Next time I will need to add melted butter with flour to make the roux because it lumped up and I had to use my emulsifier to get the lumps out. Didn't have fat from the meat (can't add cold liquid to flour).

This was simple and delicious. I admit I used frozen meatballs and just used some canola oil instead of drippings to save some time..

Wow, really good and easy to make! My only problem was that the sauce didn't thicken like it should have. I added a little cornstartch and that helped.

Didn't have enough drippings from ground beef to make gravy. Gravy was too thin but good anyway.

Best Swedish Meatballs I ever tasted. I'm a new cook at shocked that the Beef consume cost $2.00 per can though!

I have been looking for a good Swedish Meatball recipe and saw this one. No substitutions needed. If looking for beef consomme it is in the soup aisle next to all the other Campbell soups. It makes it richer than using just beef broth.

This was tasty and pretty easy, but seeing the calorie count, I'm not sure it was worth it.

This was my second attempt at meatballs. They tasted ok, but alot of them fell apart after or during browning. I made them in batches in a 6.5 qt, dutch oven. I may not have squished the balls firmly enough, just not sure how compact they need to be. I thought the recipe was a little too oniony for my taste. I'll give it another shot sometime. I used beef broth because, oddly, I could not find consumme in my usually well stocked grocery store.
