OMG. Followed the recipe to the letter. Instant family favorite! Three picky eaters ages 3,7,10 all loved them. The meatballs were the most tender I have ever had, the sauce was flavorful and the perfect consistency. If these don't come out amazing when you make them YOU did something wrong.

This recipe came out very well, and didn't take nearly as much time and work as I thought it would. Out of necessity I made a few changes (I didn't have pork, and don't really like pork to be honest, and used regular lactaid milk instead of heavy cream due to food allergies. It still came out great. One thing I have learned from scores of Danish dishes handed down to me from my grandmother though, is if you add a little powdered garlic to the gravy/sauce it really takes the flavor up a notch. Not a lot, just little. Next time I will double the sauce amount though. I served it over egg noodles with lingonberry sauce and pigged out!

The meatballs were wonderful. The sauce was too thin and very bland... will be looking for a different recipe for the sauce.

Very tasty. The key to the sauce is letting the meatballs sit in it for a while. Otherwise, I see why the sauce would seem bland when you first taste it before you add the meatballs.

Huge hit and very easy to make. I added a bit of fresh dill and chives to the meatballs and used the entire egg rather than just the yolks. Absolutely yummy.

Alton Brown scores another hit at our house. The recipe was easy to follow and the results were very tasty. My husband has been requesting this dish for some time and he cleaned his plate in short shrift.And I will certainly make it again

I cut this recipe in half since it's just two of us and had it over egg noodles for dinner. I used a hawaiian roll since that was the closest I had to white bread and I only used ground beef because I didn't have pork. It tasted great but stuck to the pan and fell apart a lot when I was browning them so I gave up trying to get them brown all the way around and baked them longer. Tasted good but I think I'll try a different recipe and see how it works.

This was as good if not better than ikea's version.
I used my vitamix to make breadcrumbs from yesterday's pizza crusts. 5 stars.

My teenager asked for swedish meatballs "as good as IKEA". I've never made swedish meatballs, but I trust Alton Brown's recipes in general... they almost never disappoint. Followed the recipe exactly, not difficult to do, and these were a HIT. I don't think she'll ever want IKEA meatballs again! In her words, these blew her away. The gravy was delicious, the meatballs had perfect texture and flavor. Didn't even serve a sidedish with 'em, just perfect brown meatballs and gravy. Thanks Alton for gaining me just a little more respect in the kitchen, and giving us a standby recipe I will always come back to for dinners and parties and comfort!
