Helaine's Notes:

This is my Nana's recipe for Swedish meatballs, which we have for Christmas Eve dinner, traditionally with peas, boiled potatoes and white gravy, and tomato aspic. It has been passed down for 4 generations and it is *authentically* Swedish as my Nana was 100% Swede!

Directions

Place all ingredients into a large bowl and mix thoroughly until smooth and fully incorporated.

Cover the mixture and let sit in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to firm up.

After the mixture is firm, roll into meatballs. Fry in batches so that all sides are browned. When all the meatballs are browned, place all the meatballs back into the pan with 1/2 cup of water. Cover and steam for 5 minutes.
Serve with white cream gravy.

Thank you all who left such wonderfully positive comments :) I appreciate the time and thought it took for you to leave them! It is Christmas Eve so I'm getting ready to make my annual double batch - they don't last more than 3 days in my house ;)
