OH MY! I am doing a backflip so delicious. The currant jelly is a perfect ingredient. I used Panko breadcrumbs, turned out great.

Yummy! Great recipe, just give yourself enough time to prep it. I put the meatballs in the crock-pot, raw, and cooked them for 2 1/2 hours or so and they came out great.

These Swedish meatballs were just fantastic, as are most of Emeril's recipes! This was actually pretty easy to make, though it did take a long time to prepare. I think it was perfect as written; not too much salt or butter at all. I served this with buttered egg noodles and German red cabbage. We will definitely make this again!

Emeril,
We all enjoyed your recipe with minor changes. I added 12 oz. chopped shittake mushrooms to the meatball mix and instead of the cup of heavy cream for the sauce, I substituted 1 cup of sour cream. For the broth I used 1 quart of organic beef broth and added 1 tablespoon of corn starch to help thicken the extra broth in the sauce. It was simply fantastic! No problems with salt at all. I used Himalayan salt (pink salt. Wonderful recipe in every way. Both the meatballs and sauce were very tasty! Thanks so much!

I thought these meatballs were delicious! I served them over mashed potatoes. I didn't have any problems with the amount of butter or salt as some reviewers did. I didn't add the jelly because I didn't have any. I am surprised this recipe is classified as difficult. I wonder if this is a mistake.

I've made these swedish meatballs 2 times already since last week , my son LOVES them , my husband LOVES them too .. they're delicious , i made them small with 2 lbs of meat , ended up about 60 meatballs each time i made them . They're super delicious , i know it's yummy esp. when my son asked me if i can deliver this for his lunch at school the next day LOL . The only thing i changed was skipping the butter and heavy whipping cream , instead of butter i used little oil and then i replaced the whipped cream with 1% milk , and it still turned out very yummy . I had this with mashed potato along with lingonberry jam . Oh and i cut down the salt a little bit on the meatballs . Other than that .. it's good , yummy !!! No need to make a trip to Ikea to eat Swedish Meatballs now :

best Swedish meatballs ever. I used a bit more salt & pepper & little more flour in the sauce otherwise followed directions to a T. Sauce thickened up nicely. Made the whole shootin' match in my cast iron skillet for Christmas eve tomorrow as an appy. Recommended over TF's recipe in which the gravy was bland. Thanks Emeril

You have to make these meatballs!! I made a double batch and am so glad I did. We are big hunters so I used venison in place of the ground beef. We are big on making foods from other countries, call it international night. The meatballs were so moist and the sauce perfect, don't leave out the jelly.

Fantastic recipe! I used Ritz cracker crumbs instead of bread crumbs, grape jelly instead of red currant jelly, and I used heavy cream instead of whole milk. This is the best Swedish Meatball recipe!!!
