How to make IKEA Meatballs - Swedish Meatballs (Köttbullar) with Creamy Sauce

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

Finely chop the onion and garlic.

In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, garlic, bread crumbs, milk, egg, nutmeg, allspice, salt, and black pepper.

Mix the ingredients until well combined.

Shape the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch in diameter.

Heat butter in a skillet over medium heat until melted.

Add the meatballs to the skillet and cook until browned on all sides, about 5-7 minutes.

Transfer the browned meatballs to a baking sheet and bake in the oven for 10-15 minutes until cooked through.

In the same skillet, add flour and cook for 1-2 minutes to create a roux.

Slowly whisk in beef broth and bring to a simmer, stirring constantly until thickened.

Stir in heavy cream and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.

Serve the meatballs with the creamy sauce, garnished with chopped parsley.
