These were delicious. If you are in a hurry bake some and save a few to cook in a skillet so you can get the drippings to make the gravy.

I'm giving this recipe 5 stars with the changes that were made by a couple other reviewers. I added the fresh gratted nutmeg to both the meatballs and the sauce, baked the meatballs at 350° for 30 minutes and then simmered in the sauce on the stovetop for a bit and I used a cup of coffee in place of the instant coffee and one cup of the water. These turned out really good and fairly easy to make. I will definately make these again.

Sounds like a good receipe but everyone is forgetting the true taste of the Sweden meatball,add nutmeg. Yes that's right, freshly grated prefered. I usually add 1/2 teaspoon to 1lb of ground beef or more to your likng. You will be amazed at the taste. Also add some to the gravy, start small and experiment as the flavor can over power the dish. You'll never make it again without this ingredient.

I also cheated and used pre-made meatballs. The sauce was a little bland so I added a little worcestershire sauce and it turned out perfect! I baked the meatballs, made the sauce and then threw it all together in the crockpot to simmer for a couple of hours. The kids and the hubby all loved it! I will definitely make this again.

I liked it but my hubby and his friend said it needed more flavor.

I just used the sauce, but I didn't use the drippings or coffee. I added about 1/2 tsp nutmeg to the flour and followed the rest of the recipe adding some leftover frozen meatballs we had and then letting it simmer and thicken. This is yummy!!!

i didnt find this to be bland like others, but it was missing something. i used ground turkey so maybe that was my problem, but they were good.

Very tasty meatballs, and I love the flavor the coffee adds to the beef stock. I omit the green pepper, and use Parmesan cheese instead of cheddar. Great served over whole wheat noodles!

I was interested in trying this recipe because it didn’t call for creamed soup. I loved the meatballs in this and wouldn’t change them, although I did add salt when making them and baked them at 375 for 20 minutes (mine were a little larger than 1 inch). The gravy, however, really didn’t do much for me. I didn’t have coffee granules, so maybe that was it. It was very thin so I thickened it with a little Wondra. I should have added a splash of white wine or sherry. I think that would have improved it. Next time I will try making this with the coffee to see if that adds the pizzazz this needs. Also, I made the gravy ahead of time but did not add the sour cream. I added it to the cool gravy and gently reheated. No chance of the sour cream “breaking” or “curdling” that way.
