This Swedish meatball recipe makes juicy and flavorful meatballs with a creamy, rich, and crave-worthy sauce. If you prefer, you can serve the meatballs without the gravy. We love serving these with mashed potatoes (or mashed cauliflower). We also highly recommend a spoonful of lingonberry jam. For the gravy, I love soy sauce and a bit of lemon. They are not authentic, but truly make this gravy delicious.
