Directions
Sliced Bread Swedish Meatballs, The gauntlet was thrown when my daughter’s future in-law’s Swedish Meatballs recipe was declared to be the best in the world Here’s my valiant attempt to uphold the honor from OUR side of the family A good electric skillet makes this as easy as can be (I often DOUBLE the gravy recipe, and add a bit of dill weed, nutmeg, and caraway seeds 8-), When you explain how to make the gravy, you don’t mention any of the spices that go in it That’s probably why that one reviewer said it was so bland – he didn’t add the onion powder, the granulated garlic, the parsley, etc, because he only read the directions, and paid no attention to the list of ingredients ;o), No Pinterest tab to save either

Mix Thoroughly Until Smooth, It's Best to Use Your Hands For This. Shape Into Small, Golf-Ball Size Meatballs (by Dipping Your Hands in Cold Water, the Meatballs Won't Stick to Your Hands.). |
