Bork bork bork! (Just kidding!) These Swedish meatballs do have more of an American twist on them, as they are served submerged in white gravy as opposed to sided with brown gravy, but they are no less utsökt! NOTE: I've always served my köttbulle with egg noodles, but authentically they are usually served with potatoes, and the meatballs are separate from the gravy on the plate. This recipe, I feel, is much better on top of the noodles!

6Take the pan off the heat and gradually add the beef stock, stirring and blending well after each addition. Put the pan back on the heat and bring to a boil. then add the sour cream. Turn the heat back down and add the meatballs, cover and cook over a low heat for about 15 to 20 minutes, until the sauce has thickened.
