Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 24 pieces Frozen pre-cooked meatballs
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 2 cups Beef broth
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Whisk in the all-purpose flour and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture becomes golden and bubbly.
Slowly pour in the beef broth while whisking to avoid lumps. Cook for 3-4 minutes, until the mixture begins to thicken.
Stir in the heavy cream, Worcestershire sauce, Dijon mustard, salt, and black pepper. Let the gravy simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the frozen meatballs to the skillet and stir to coat them evenly with the gravy.
Cover the skillet and cook over medium-low heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the meatballs are heated through.
Taste the gravy and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Serve the Swedish meatballs over mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired.
