The meatballs were delicious and I will be making them again and again. The sauce on the other hand, was horrible.

Theses meat ball were great. I did not make the sauce because I was preparing finger food. All I added was a bit of garlic and grated some nutmeg. Thanks for the great recipe.

This is my favourite recipe for swedish meatballs - I use less salt in the sauce but other than that they are perfect, and so easy! I sometimes use seasones pork sausages squeezed out of the wrappers because the generic ground pork from the grocery store always tastes too bland to me (in general, not in this recipe).

This sauce was RIDICULOUSLY salty!!! I had to throw the whole first batch out. Thank goodness I was able to salvage the meatballs! I cooked it the second time with only a teaspoon of salt and it was actually quite good!

We used vegetarian meatballs and only made the sauce. I added garlic and mushrooms and it was a big hit with everyone forgot to add we left out the salt all together

DO NOT USE THIS SAUCE!!!! Whomever loved this recipe, I'm willing to bet they have a psychological addiction to salt. The meatballs were okay, but still contained WAY too much salt. I should have known, when I was adding the amount of salt they told me to add, a red flag went up and I thought... this is more salt than I have ever added to any recipe of this amount of meat and/or sauce ingredients. Don't ask me how I knew, it was just WRONG. I have not re-tried this recipe without the salt, but I'm suggesting that if you really want to use this recipe, you may try using 1/4 the pepper, 1/4 the salt in both the sauce and the meatballs and then, MAYBE it will be okay. I would not reccomend this recipe.

SAUCE REVIEW. This review is for the sauce only. I live in Sweden and needed a fast sauce to make with the meatballs that I had just made. I thought that I had a sauce pre-made, only to find out that I was wrong. Sheesh.... Anyway, I made this sauce, which looked strange to me, but, I was desperate. Well, I ended up making mashed potatoes and having the meatballs with slices of cucumber instead. A Swedish meat sauce should be brown like gravy, not creamy and definetly not like this one. And just another comment, the IKEA sauce for the swedish meatballs is actually very close to the made from scratch sauce.

I loved the sauce. It is very simple to make and it tastes good. I went to Ikea and had their famous swedish meatballs, and I have to say I liked this sauce a lot more than theirs. I usually add a little bit of corn starch to make it a thicker gravy type sauce.

this recipe was good. i also used the 2 cans cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 c milk and 1 c sour cream. tasty. i added salt to taste instead of adding the whole 1 tbsp! i served mine over egg noodles. good!!

I bought frozen meatballs,used the sauce from this recipe and served over egg noodles. The sauce really hit the spot. My kids loved this meal!

I have been looking for a good SM recipe, and this one was the best i have found since my mothers. i too, made a few adjustments: instead of water i used beef broth. i used more paprika and to the sauce i added garlic powder. i also added nutmeg to the meatballs. Thank you for posting this great recipe!

I was craving meatballs last night, and found this recipe. It was WONDERFUL!!!!! I was so impressed that I asked my best friend to stop in and try it,....well she is making it tonight!!! The only things I changed were #1 omit pork (I don't eat it),#2 add onion and garlic powder to meat mixture, and #3 I cooked the meatballs in the oil and then used that to make the gravy (I figured it would add a little more flavor to the sauce). Incredible recipe, it will be a regular at my house from now on. THANK YOU!!

This is almost identical to my Swedish Meatball recipe. The difference is that I brown mine in oil on the stovetop, then make the gravy on the basis of the drippings. I use milk insted of water and usually add some beef base or bullion

Tried this last night and it was fantastic. My husband and I loved it. I didn't change a thing and thought it was great just the way it was. It was also very easy and quick to make. This is definitely a keeper in my recipe box!

This recipe is very underrated! I have to agree with many of the contributors that you need to go easy on the salt, but other than that it's great! I do not always have ground pork on hand and it's still great with only ground beef!

I just cooked this for my boyfriend and I thought it was really bland. I gave it a C+ and he gave it a B-. If you decide to do this recipe anyway, take it out at the 30 min and briefly fry them in butter or something that would give it some flavor. Then add the sauce, but instead of using boiling water, use beef stock. Then eat the meatball with lingonberries (or cranberries) to add some more taste to it.

After following all the ingredients for these "amazing" swedish meatballs, i came to the conclusion that it was way to bland for me.. My whole family felt the same way. The presentation of the meatballs looked awesome but there was no flavor to it. Sorry!

Great meatball recipe, didn't use the sauce recipe as I have one I like. Maybe I'll try it someday! But the meatball is a keeper!
