Instructions
Prepare the Onions:
Finely dice the onion.
Sauté in a small pan or the Instant Dutch Oven with the olive oil until softened and translucent.
Soak the Bread:
Soak the slice of bread in the milk until fully absorbed.
Mix Meatball Ingredients:
In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground pork, ground beef, eggs, milk-soaked bread, onions, bread crumbs, salt, pepper, nutmeg, and cloves.
Mix until well combined.
Form Meatballs:
Form into 1 ½- to 2-inch meatballs. This recipe makes about 24 meatballs of this size. For smaller meatballs, make them 1-inch.
Brown the Meatballs:
Brown the meatballs in the oven on broil for about 15 minutes. Alternatively, sauté them in the Instant Dutch Oven in batches until all are browned.
Prepare the Gravy:
Preheat the Instant Dutch Oven to sauté.
Melt the butter.
Add the flour and whisk to combine, forming a roux. Cook for a couple of minutes to eliminate any "doughy" taste.
Add the sour cream and whisk quickly to combine.
Add the beef broth, one cup at a time, whisking to combine with the flour-sour cream mixture.
Combine and Cook:
Add the remaining salt, pepper, and parsley to the liquid.
Return the meatballs to the Instant Precision Dutch Oven.
Add the uncooked egg noodles.
Cook the Dish:
Cover and cook according to the Instant Dutch Oven's instructions until the meatballs are cooked through and the noodles are tender.
Enjoy your delicious, homemade Swedish meatballs!
