It definitly took more than 10 mins to prep and more than 10 mins to cook. Even in the directions is says it takes 20-25 mins alone for the onions. To me, the worst part making it was the sauce. Very odd. When I added the "fat" or half the remaining oil to the first cup of flour, it immediatly browned once mixed but it was a clumpy powder, and even when i tried to heat it up to "brown it" for 10 mins, nothing happened. Also, when I put all the other ingedients together (the bleu cheese, sour cream, broth & flour it seemed extremely odd that one would just plop those all together and not even be intructed to mix it a certain way.... not sure if there would be a way - the plop of sour cream and bleu cheese are stubburn about mixing with the watery broth and the clumpy flour. Just seemed a little weird. Eventually when i started to boil the mixture (in order to get it to the simmering point... it did thicken a little but it wasnt until the meatballs were done that the sauce seemed to finally ALMOST come together the way it was supposed to. There were still just chunks of sour cream and flour on the bottom of the pot, but when getting the balls themselves and the sauce on the top it was pretty tasty. I made it with some garlic/butter spaggetti and everyone enjoyed it. The meatballs arent enough on their own, though they are tasty - for a 1 - 1 1/2 hour meal completion. I'll make it again, but at least now I know what to actually expect - which is quite a bit different than the description on here.

My family in Malmo would be appalled. Olive oil? Chicken? Swedish meatballs are pork, veal, and beef with a little spice, breadcrumbs, and milk. The gravy is always a simple cream sauce. Please change the name or take this recipe off the list

Read the review above. It takes 20-25 minutes to cook the onions, where does the 10 minute cook time come from? This is not a good "Swedish Meatball" recipe! Bad start for this program!

This recipe ended up tasting very good -- however it took me three hours total; not 10 minutes as stated. How can it take 10 mins. when you have to cook the onions (the very first step for 25 mins?? Then they must cool. (Adding more time. Also. if you follow the directions for the sauce exactly, you'll end up with a lumpy sauce. Next time I try this (when I have time I'll do the sauce in the traditional roux manner; and also not use 2 cups of flour which is way too much.

This is an excellent recipe for swedish meatballs! They were very moist, which I attribute to using cream rather than eggs. The only alterations I made were using all ground beef, no ground chicken, and omitting the anchovy from the sauce.
