Our neighbor, Jim (of Norwegian heritage, makes his own Swedish Meatball recipe every Christmas. Preceded by a few blasts of Aquavit, it's is delicious. I was recently at an Ikea and had their version of the meatballs and found them seriously wanting. I decided to make my own and started with Alton's recipe. Not bad - better than Ikea not as good as Jim's.

I made this for my picky eater husband. It was amazing, and it is now in our monthly dinner menu. He loved it! I followed the recipe to the end. I used fresh pasta, and a fresh salad as side dish. Thank you!

Made this recipe tonigh and it was delicious. Only thing I changed was stuffing the meatballs with goat cheese and making no yolk egg noodles. Thanks Alton!

I made this tonight for my father in laws birthday and it was awesome! He remembered as a kid his mom making him Swedish meatballs. I debated on making this recipe or making Betty Crocker and I am glad I went with this one. It was easy and simple and delicious! A family favorite now.

Made this twice. Its very good, but also quite a bit of work. This time I made it with meatloaf mix (pork, beef and veal. I don't know what people are talking about with this being bland, its quite flavorful.

I thought these were great. Very flavorful. I served them over fresh fettuccine. We are sour cream lovers, so I substituted it for the heavy cream as another user suggested. I also added a clove of garlic to the meatball mixture. My son loved them, which is always saying a lot.

I love this recipe! I don't find the meatballs to be bland at all. In fact, I find them very flavorful! Love the slight spicy warmth that the nutmeg and allspice contribute. I DO use sour cream or creme fraiche in place of the cream when I make the sauce, but this is just a matter of personal preference. I like them most when served over egg noodles, and my husband prefers them with mashed potatoes. I like them with brussels sprouts on the side and some nice lingonberry jam to enjoy with the meatballs. I first made this recipe a few years ago while still living at home, and it's one (of many that I took with me and continue to make for my husband and myself. I misplaced my handwritten copy of the recipe so I came back to find it here! Can't wait to make and eat these later this week!
