How to Make Swedish Meatballs:
This recipe comes together rather quickly once you have all of your ingredients prepped and measured.

In a large mixing bowl, add the ground beef and pork. Using the star side of a box grater, grate the onion into the meat. In a separate bowl, combine the panko crumbs and milk, add to meat.Add the remaining meatball ingredients and mix well. Shape into uniform 1″ balls.In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat and cook the meatballs for 6-7 minutes, turning halfway. Cook until golden brown and cooked through. We recommend cooking in 2-3 bathes, depending on the size of your skillet.Remove meatballs from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
Prepare Gravy Sauce:
In the same skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Quickly whisk in the flour and cook until golden brown.Pour in the broth, cream, Dijon, salt, and pepper to taste and stir to combine. Bring the gravy sauce to a simmer and cook until it thickens, stirring as needed.Return the meatballs back to the skillet and coat in the sauce. Cook until meatballs are reheated.
Can I bake the meatballs?

Can I freeze the meatballs?
Yes, you can freeze the meatballs. Once the meatballs are cooked and cooled, arrange them on a platter and freeze. Transfer the frozen meatballs to a freezer bag. Then, just thaw overnight and continue with the recipe.
