One Pot Swedish Meatballs

Now unlike a few of my recipes, this one is a true one pot recipe. A one pot Swedish Meatballs! So lets get to it! First, the details…

The Details

The prep time for this swedish meatballs recipe is about 15-20 minutes. Cook time for this recipe is about 30-35 minutes. Serves up to 4-5 servings. As a side note here, if you want to make sure your meatballs don’t fall apart so easily there is an easy little trick. After forming your meatballs, you can refrigerate them overnight. If you don’t feel like doing that, just refrigerate them for at least an hour. You’ll need a medium to large sized mixing bowl for the meatballs and a large pot to cook everything in. Are you ready for some delicious meatballs?

The Ingredients

For the Meatballs

swedish meatballs
  • 1 lb ground beef
  • 1/2 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/4 yellow onion, finely minced
  • 1 egg
  • 1 tsp pepper
  • 1 tsp salt

For the Rest

  • 2 tbsp canola oil
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 2cups milk
  • 1/2 tbsp salt
  • 1/2 tbsp pepper
  • 1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
  • 5 cups egg noodles (wide is preferred)
  • 1 cup shredded parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup parsley, chopped

Directions

First, the meatballs! In the medium to large sized bowl, combine the beef, breadcrumbs, onion, egg, salt, and pepper. Make sure everything is mixed well before you start rolling the meat mixture into golf-ball sized balls. If you like you can roll them out into smaller, bite sized balls which I prefer personally.

Heat the oil in your large pot over medium high heat. Once the oil is ready, put in the meatballs and cook for one minute before flipping and cooking for another minute. Add the beef broth, milk, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce. Give the pot a stir. Then bring the liquid to a boil. Once boiling, add the egg noodles. Carefully stir the pot so you don’t break your meatballs. Continue to stir until the liquid starts to coat the pasta, about 8 or so minutes. If not, just continue to stir until it starts to coat.

After that, add the parmesan and parsley until the cheese is melted and everything is coated. Serve yourself a plate, and if you so choose top with a bit more parmesan. Bon appetit!
