    Loved this recipe. I have never had Ikea meatballs, so I can't compare there, but I have had my grandfathers and always thought his were the best.....I hate to admit, but these are just as good : I didn't use pork, just had ground chuck on hand, otherwise I did everything else to a tee. My kids loved it, that makes life easy. This recipe will be on our regular rotation.

    This is a really good recipe. I lightened it up because we're dieting. I used ground turkey and ground pork that I had in the freezer; cooking spray for sauteeing; skim milk. But we had to have mashed potatoes cuz this has gravy!! I made dinner size meatballs and it made 20.

    These were very good, my kids LOVED them but the meatball tastes nothing like Ikea's meatballs. (The gravy is exactly like Ikea's though. Half way through the meal my 8 yr old exclaimed "This tastes like meatloaf". Exactly.

    This was so-so. The reviewer that said it was way too saltly scared me so I only used 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, should have used 2. Also added parsley to the meatballs. Nothing special about this recipe, won't be making this again.

    I have made these twice now and they were perfect both times. The first time was for a cocktail party & i didn't change a thing. first thing gone, people where crazy about them. I made them last night for dinner to serve over egg noodles. My kids LOVED them. I did doupble the sauce to serve over noodles. No need to do that if you are making them to eat on their own, but I do suggest doing that if serving them over anything. Used beef stock instead of broth & made them even better. I almost didn't buy the lingonberries b/c they were rather pricey (I think about $8 for the jar, but I am glad I did b/c they do add something & this one jar will last forever. Enjoy!

    These were wonderful! Before I made these I had never tasted Ikea's Swedish meatballs. As it happened we visited an Ikea a few weeks after I made Food Network's recipe for my family...It was no comparison...mine were much better!! Even my very picky grandchildren loved them (in fact, their other grandma has asked for the recipe. This recipe is a keeper!
    The one thing Ikea had that mine didn't was the ligonberry sauce...but that's easy enough to fix!

    Yummm! These are delicious! I had only beef on hand so that's what I used. These meatballs were so tender and moist...melt in your mouth good! Baking them in the oven instead of browning them in a pan is so much easier. I will definitely make this again but will double the recipe for the gravy. Great recipe!
