Easy Swedish Meatball Sauce

If you’ve ever visited IKEA, they have a whole section with food from their restaurant. For this recipe you will need some frozen, pre-cooked meatballs like they sell (they also have veggie options too). Combine the meatballs with this sauce and serve with egg noodles, fries, or mashed potatoes for a delicious, filling meal.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup beef stock

  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce

  • ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste

  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or more to taste

  • 10 ounces frozen cooked meatballs, thawed

Directions

  1. Gather all ingredients.

  2. Whisk together stock, cream, flour, soy sauce, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and 1/2 teaspoon rosemary in a large saucepan over low heat until smooth.

  3. Cook, stirring occasionally, until thickened, about 10 minutes.

  4. Stir in thawed meatballs, and continue cooking until meatballs are heated through, about 5 more minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center of the meatballs should read at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C).

  5. Taste and adjust seasonings before serving.
