IKEA’s Swedish Meatballs
I have never been to IKEA (is that bad?) & so I have never tried their meatballs, but this recipe is really good. I love a good swedish meatball & these are moist & flavorful. This is a nice meal that is pretty quick to throw together.
I will most likely be making this again, especially since my 2 1/2 year old actually eats meatballs, I will use any variation I can get! Enjoy!
IKEA’s Swedish Meatballs
Yields meatballs
Ingredients
Meatballs:
- ¾ cup Progresso Italian Style Bread Crumbs
- 2 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ⅓ cup onion, minced or small dice
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ tsp ground allspice
- Kosher Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- ½ cup milk
- 1 tsp worcestershire sauce
- 1 lb ground beef
- 1 large egg + 1 egg white, beaten
Sauce:
- 4 Tbsp unsalted butter
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 3 cups low sodium beef broth
- 2 tsp worcestershire sauce
- ½ cup heavy cream
- 1 ½ Tbsp dried Parsley
- Kosher Salt & Freshly Ground Black Pepper
- 10 oz egg noodles
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400˚F. Add bread crumbs to a large bowl. In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter; add onion, garlic, allspice, 1 tsp salt & ¼ tsp pepper; cook until onion is tender.
- Whisk in milk & worcestershire sauce & bring to a simmer.
- Pour mixture over the breadcrumbs & stir to make a thick paste; allow to cool, then mix in the ground beef, egg & egg white with a fork until well combined.
- Place foil on a large baking sheet & coat with pan spray. Roll the meat into 1-inch balls & place close, but not touching on the baking sheet.
- Bake at 400˚F for 15-20 min or until cooked through to centers. (*Time will depend on the size of meatball, mine only took 15 min b/c they were a smaller 1-inch size ball.)
- Start to heat some salted water for your noodles. Start your gravy: melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in the flour until smooth, whisk in beef broth & worcestershire sauce; bring to a simmer.
- Whisk in cream & dried parsley; add the cooked meatballs. Reduce heat to medium low & simmer about 10 minutes.
- While meatballs simmer add your noodles to your boiling water & cook according to time on package. Your noodles & meatballs should finish about the same time. Drain noodles & served meatballs & sauce over the hot noodles. Enjoy!

This is a great recipe! IKEA actually makes their meatballs with both beef and pork but I prefer these because I’m not a big fan of pork. I’m definitely going to be making this more than once! 😃
Glad you liked it!
I made these tonight, delicious and simple to make! Served with cranberry sauce. This recipe is a keeper!
That’s funny, we totally had these again like last week! Cranberry sauce sounds like a great side for it! Yum!
Yum. We love good meatballs in a creamy gravy. I’ve heard that IKEA’s are good so I’m for sure going to give this a try. It looks like you have lots of good stuff here on your blog. I’m liking you on FB so I can receive your updates. Thanks.
