fantastic! my go to recipe for meatballs. I did increase the amount of spices. I didn't have sour cream on hand so I used cream cheese. amazing. Then I added jalapeno blueberry jam, as it was what I had on hand, and it did not disappoint.

Excellent! I used pre made meatballs but the sauce was good! I served it over mashed potatoes. Quick and easy! I’ll be making this again!

Wonderfully
I prepared it in the oven and it came out great. I grated a little fresh Parmesan. Wow!

Excellent!! Used whole cream in lieu of sour cream, and added a few extra spices!

would make again! i went ahead and doubled the recipe bc it didnt make very much. canned cranberry sauce worked well if a bit annoying to melt down.
edit: do yourself a favor and bake these instead of pan frying. youre not saving the drippings and they fall apart in the frying pan.

The meatballs were good. The recipe was easy to follow and made a good amount. For me, this recipe didn’t contain the flavors I remember Swedish meatballs having.

Wow,
The lingonberry added a whole new flavor I have never tasted before! We had the meatballs served on top of mashed potatoes. Saving this recipe for sure. So good!!

Unbelievably delicious! I made with ground venison and as someone who doesn’t like venison- this recipe made me love it!
I used red onion, didn’t add any of the berry sauce, and I substituted the nutmeg and cardamom with onion salt and garlic powder. Turned out terrific! I seriously can’t give this recipe enough stars!!!

I omitted the cardemom and used a combo of beef, pork and veal. These were so good! Using bread soaked in milk instead of breadcrumbs made all the difference in the world!
