swedish meatballs ala gramma juju
(1 RATING)
This sauce recipe was Gramma Juju's and it is amazingly good. Cooked low and slow it becomes more flavorful over the hours which makes it a great crock pot buffet dish. It always gets rave reviews! Get it simmering while you make your meatballs. You can use premade frozen meatballs but why?? With a food processor to do your chopping and the help of a handy lil' melonball scoop you can make your own with better texture and no added junk.
