I love a good hearty dinner during the week that is quick to put together. You are going to love these Easy Swedish Meatballs with Rice any night of the week! This delicious meal can be made in under 30 minutes with minimal ingredients that you probably already have on hand. I'm using meatballs that are already made, you can find these in the meat section at most grocery stores. I like using beef but you can also use pork. Read along for all the steps to make these easy Swedish Meatballs!
Ingredients For Swedish Meatballs
I love that you really don't need too many ingredients to make a delicious gravy. I use butter, flour, beef stock, Worcestershire sauce, heavy cream and salt & pepper.
How to Make Swedish Meatballs
These are so easy to make, especially if you grab pre-made meatballs from the meat section of the grocery store. You can also purchase ground beef and roll into 1 inch balls. I like to just season with salt and pepper but you can add additional seasonings if you'd like. Be sure to brown the meatballs on all sides evenly in a little oil. You'll want to cook for a total of 10-15 minutes. A little longer if it's pork. Go ahead and start cooking your rice in a separate pan when you start cooking the meatballs.
Once the meatballs are cooked through, set aside. Keep the pan on medium heat and add in butter to melt into the meat drippings. Then add in the flour to stir. Once combined, you can add in the broth, worcestershire sauce, cream and salt & pepper.
