505

A family favorite for generations, Aunt Bee's Swedish Meatballs are homemade comfort food at its best. Serve the flavorful meatballs and sauce with egg noodles, mashed potatoes, lingonberry preserves, or cranberry sauce for a classic dinner recipe that you'll hold onto forever!

6
2+ pounds chuck hamburger meat
2 large onions ( grated into the meat in the bowl )
3 eggs slightly beaten
6 slices of cubed bread or bread crumbs, soaked in half-and-half or milk just until moist (but not too soggy) [Note: I have also used about 1 ½ cups of Panko breadcrumbs with good results]
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons salt ( or more to taste )
1 teaspoon pepper
butter and vegetable oil for frying
For the gravy:
Pan drippings
¼ cup flour ( plus additional as needed )
1 can beef broth ( approximately 2 cups )
2 tablespoons Half-and-half
Salt and pepper ( to taste )
Place the meat in a large bowl. Grate the onions into the meat. Add eggs, breadcrumbs, sugar, salt, and pepper. Use your hands to gently combine. Form meatballs on a baking sheet so that they will be ready...
