Swedish Meatballs Once Againwith Mushroom Sauce Food

SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• In a medium bowl add the ground beef, egg, breadcrumbs, salt, pepper, onion, Worcestershire sauce and finely chopped parsley. Combine using your hands without over-mixing then form into about 1 1/2″ meatballs.
• Drizzle one tablespoon of olive oil into a large skillet then then add the meatballs searing the top and bottom then remove them from the skillet to a bowl (they won't be fully cooked through at this point).
• Add the sliced mushrooms and Worcestershire to the same skillet then season (don't clean the skillet) with salt and pepper and sauté the mushrooms 3-4 minutes (about 2 minutes per side).
• Add the beef stock, scraping any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet then fold in the can of cream of mushroom soup, soy sauce and thyme.
• Return the meatballs and any of their juices to the skillet then cover and cook over medium to medium-low heat 15-20 minutes or until the meatballs are cooked through.
• Temper the sour cream then add it to the sauce. Taste and adjust for salt and pepper then serve right away over wide egg noodles or mashed potatoes.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil for easy clean-up and place an ovenproof baking/cooling rack over top; spray the rack very generously with nonstick cooking spray.
• Whisk the eggs and cream together in a medium bowl. Stir in the bread and mash until no large bread chunks remain. Set aside.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the pork, garlic, allspice, pepper, salt, and baking powder on high speed until smooth and pale, about 2 minutes, scraping bowl as necessary. Add the bread mixture to the mixing bowl and beat on low speed until combined (so it doesn't splatter), then increase the speed to high and beat until smooth and homogeneous, about 1 minute, scraping the bowl as necessary. Add the beef and mix on medium-low speed until just incorporated, about 20 seconds, scraping the bowl as necessary. Using wet hands, form the meat mixture into 1½-inch round meatballs and place on the prepared rack. (The mixture is very sticky and wet hands help; keep wetting your hands as you go). Bake for about 20 minutes, until just done.
• Note: You'll notice that the rack will leave little marks on the meatballs but they will not be too noticeable once the meatballs are covered with sauce.
• While the meatballs are cooking, make the sauce. In a large sauté pan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Add the flour and cook, whisking constantly, until flour is golden and fragrant, about 1 minute. (Careful not to burn; it goes from golden to burnt quickly.) Whisk in the chicken broth, getting rid of any lumps. Add the brown sugar and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking and scraping down the sides of the pan occasionally, until sauce is slightly thickened and reduced, about 10 minutes. Add the cream, soy sauce and pepper and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium and cook, whisking and scraping down the sides occasionally, until the sauce is thick enough to coat a spoon, about 10 minutes. Add the cooked meatballs to the sauce and simmer, turning occasionally to coat with the sauce, until heated through. Stir in the lemon juice, then taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Transfer the meatballs to a serving platter, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
• Note: The cream sauce is a touch sweet. For a less sweet sauce, you can reduce or omit the brown sugar.
• Freezer-Friendly Instructions: The meatballs (without the sauce) can be frozen for up to 3 months. When ready to serve, prepare the sauce and reheat the meatballs in the sauce until hot in the center.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and place a baking rack on top. Spray the baking rack with cooking spray.

Place meatballs on the prepared baking rack.
• Bake in the preheated oven until an instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of a meatball reads 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 18 minutes.
• While the meatballs are baking, melt butter for sauce in a large saucepan over medium-low heat. Whisk in flour and cook, stirring constantly, for 2 minutes. Gradually whisk in beef broth and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Cook, stirring often, until slightly thickened, about 12 minutes.
