Homemade Swedish Meatballs Recipe
This super simple homemade Swedish meatball recipe is made with only 5 ingredients! They are incredibly easy, low carb, and can be made gluten free...oh, and seriously delicious!
We eat a lot of meatballs in our house. One of my favorite dishes in life is my mom's spaghetti and meatballs. Now that I've been eating lower carb/sugar, I've cut out pasta (crying), but have really relied on meatballs as a staple in our nightly meals. They are so versatile and so we've eaten everything from meatballs doused in tomato sauce and topped with ricotta and parmesan cheese to turkey honey garlic meatballs as an afternoon snack.
We recently spent an afternoon at Ikea designing and procuring elements for a new wall unit in our living area, and the only way I got my family to indulge me on this one was with the promise of a stop to the Ikea cafe followed by the classic exit fro-yo (the best). For lunch, I had a plate of Swedish meatballs and they were sooooo good. I ended up buying a bag of frozen meatballs to take home for a future dinner.
I whipped these up pretty quickly for a weeknight dinner. They are low in carbs, gluten-free (just check your meatball ingredients!), and can also be low in fat. These are going to be a new staple in our house!
