How to Make Ikea Swedish Meatballs - Copycat Recipe

Step-by-Step

In a large skillet, heat 2 tblsp. sweet butter. Saute onion and garlic until tender and soft. Add milk until a paste forms. Set aside.
In a large bowl, combine all of the meatball ingredients and mix well. Add the onion paste and mix again.
Make 1" meatballs, and brown in the remaining 1 tblsp. sweet butter. Drain on paper towels, and set aside.
Make Gravy:
melt butter in skillet; whisk in flour stirring constantly. Add beef broth, worcestshire sauce, heavy cream, and salt and pepper. Stir until gravy is smooth.
Return browned meatballs to the gravy, and cook on low until gravy is thickened and meatballs are heated through, about 15 minutes.
