Swedish Meatballs with Lingonberry Sauce
Adapted from Tyler Florence's Swedish Meatballs with Lingonberry Sauce
I love these - they're not just creamy, but a little sweet too.
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup milk
6 T butter
1 small onion, minced
salt and freshly ground white pepper
1/2 pound ground beef and 1/2 pound ground pork (I've made them with just ground turkey, too, and they're very good also)
1 egg
1/4 cup parsley, chopped, plus more for garnish
1/4 cup fresh dill, chopped
2 T all-purpose flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup lingonberry jam, plus more for serving
In a small bowl, combine breadcrumbs and the milk. Saute onion, salt, and pepper in a little butter or oil over medium-high heat for about 2 minutes. Combine with rest of ingredients up to flour, and form about 20 - 24 1-inch balls.
Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet over moderate heat and lightly brown meatballs on all sides. Remove to a platter lined with paper towels as they are done.
Add flour to chicken broth and place in slow cooker and add lingonberry jam until combined. Cook on low for 5-6 hours.
When done, take a little of the hot gravy from the mixture and stir it into the sour cream in a side bowl, about a tablespoon at a time with about 3 or 4 tablespoons of the gravy. That introduceds the sour cream to the heat gradually so it does not separate or curdle.
Return gravy to the cooker, give a good stir, and serve over your favorite cooked pasta, topped with parsley. Serve with additional lingonberry jam on the side if desired.
Of course you could do this the traditional way, on top of the stovetop, but cooking in the slow cooker really develops the flavors and is easily transported for pot-luck suppers, or kept hot if serving at a party.

I have been making stuffed meatballs...
from Sandra in NY's idea. I take meatballs and stuff them with mozzarella cheese, and then cook them in the oven. I serve them with pasta and a marinara sauce. It might be fun to serve the meatballs in a crockpot with dinner buns to make meatball sliders. I did that for a teacher's luncheon and they were a huge hit. Parm on the side, easy and even picky eaters like them.
