    We make these all the time! I do make a few changes, but nothing huge. I use beef stock instead of chicken. I omit the caraway, and use fresh grated nutmeg instead. That's it. This recipe is soooo delicious.

    Undeniably my family's favorite... and Tyler's Beef Stroganoff was hard to beat! We serve ours with homemade Spaetzle. Delish.

    I cut this recipe for the meatballs in half but used the standard recipe for the sauce. I added a shake of nutmeg in the sauce and made egg noodles. It made 40 meatballs and double the sauce for the egg noodles and meatballs. The leftovers probably won't make it until dinner tomorrow! The meatballs were tender and spiced perfectly for the rich, rich, rich, sauce!

    IVE BEEN MAKING MEATBALLS MY WHOLE LIFE ALWAYS THE SAME WAY FROM DIFFERENT REGIONS OF ITALY WHERE I LIVED.I WANTED TO DO SOMETHING DIFFERENT.THESE WERE VERY NICE .THE SHALLOTS ARE BEST CHOPPED QUITE FINE,AND I COOKED THE MEATBALLS LONGER THAN IT SAID BECAUSE IT IS PORK-SO I PUT THEM IN THE OVEN TO FINISH THEM OFF WHILST I CONTINUED ON WITH THE REST.NEXT TIME I MIGHT SUBSTITUTE COOKING CREAM OR MASCARPONE IN PLACE OF THE SOUR CREAM,WHICH TOOK ON AN IDENTITY ALL ITS OWN ONCE I ADDED IT.I COULD SEE WHERE HE WAS GOING WITH THE SOUR CREAM,BUT I THINK THE FLAVOUR WAS TOO OVERPOWERING AND REQUIRED MORE ANONIMITY FROM THE CREAM ADDITIVE.THE TEXTURE WAS VERY PLEASING AND THE MEATBALLS FLAVOURFUL .THIS MEAL REQUIRES PREPARATION AND PLANNING BUT ALL GOOD MEALS DO.SOME OF THE OTHER FOOD NETWORK RECIPES FELL FLAT IN MY OPINION BUT THIS IS THE SECOND TYLER FLORENCE RECIPE IVE MANAGED TO DUPLICATE AND THEY WERE EQUALLY PLEASING.

    I make these every New Years Eve for my husband (of Swedish descent and we just love them. The only changes I make are 1 adding a bit less dill and 2 making extra sauce because it is SO good and goes great with egg noodles. Making them again tomorrow for a New Years Eve open house.

    If using seasoned Italian breadcrumbs, do NOT put milk into them. I am confident that the Romans build the aqueduct system with this bio-degradable mortar. This is one reason they still stand today! An option is to put the crumbs into the meat mixture and add a little milk.

    The recipe was great. Growing up in a Swedish household, I miss the meatballs and this treat brought me back to my youth. I had to use red currant jelly because I couldn't find the linger berry at any of the local mega-marts. This is a very good recipe and I will use it to cook the balls again.

    Thanks for sharing, Tyler. I learned sharing today, too!

    I recently made this dish for my foodie friends & it was a smash hit! (As Tyler's recipes always are. The only changes I made were the addition of allspice & Hungarian paprika to the meatballs. I also added crimini mushrooms to the sauce. I served the meatballs over egg noodles.
    I was skeptical about lingonberry jam but included it in the sauce & served more on the table as a side addition. Much to my surprise, the lingonberry jam was just what was needed to put this dish over the top! Thanks Tyler!

    really great recipe. I unfortunately did not have carroway until the end of the recipe, so incorporated into the gravy (very good gravy by the way, though i used pork stock instead of chicken. I had to improvise with other seeds and spices, because of my delayed carroway situation (black pepper, cardomom, coriander and mace, but the spiced onions were a terrific base for the pork-beef meatballs. I thought the sour cream- lingonberry laced gravy was an excellent touch. I served it over rice, as that's how I love swedish meatballs, and it was Awesome. Steamed asparagus and potato bread alongside, it was a great meal. Highly recommend this recipe.

    I recently made this dish for a dinner party- everyone loved it! I used dried breadcrumbs, as they were all I had, but the rest of the recipe was exact. It was incredible- the sauce-- wow!!! Will definitely make this again this winter. Thanks!
