Quick and easy Swedish meatballs made with frozen meatballs create a cozy meal that your family will love. Indulge in tender, flavorful meatballs enveloped in a rich, creamy sauce.

  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb frozen meatballs
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter (for browning)
  • 1 tbsp unsalted butter (for sauce)
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup low-sodium beef broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tsp Dijon mustard
  • 1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add frozen meatballs and cook until golden brown on all sides.
  2. Remove the meatballs and set aside. In the same skillet, melt an additional tablespoon of butter, then whisk in flour to form a paste.
  3. Gradually add beef broth while whisking continuously. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and Worcestershire sauce until the sauce thickens.
  4. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Return meatballs to the skillet and simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes to absorb flavors.
  5. Serve over mashed potatoes or egg noodles, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.

Notes

  • For added flavor, sprinkle a dash of nutmeg into the sauce.
  • Substitute sour cream for heavy cream for a lighter option.
