My family loves when I make these meatballs. We like Mashed potatoes with our Swedish Meatballs, rather then noodles, but sure noodles would be good also. I never measure anything it's always been a little of this and a little of that. I hope everyone enjoys these as much as we do!

Add bullion cubes or beef granules and let the heat reduce, add butter, and melt down, add flour 1 tablespoon at a time while adding flour stir constantly until thick. slowly add milk and water (I like to mix the milk and water together, just makes it easier).
