Swedish Meatballs in Gravy

 

 

I swear, the 20th of the month comes around quicker and quicker each month. No sooner have I picked out my recipe and the day before arrives and I find myself rushing to cook it. This month I was delighted to be paired up with Amber from “Dessert Now, Dinner Later!“.

 

 

Monday is just crazy for us with Cub Scouts for my daughter and it starts at 6pm which is our usual dinner time. The days are shorter now too so its dark early so I’d like to get dinner done a bit earlier and Amber’s Ikea Swedish Meatballs were just the perfect option. I had them done in about 20 minutes flat.

 

Now, I have to admit, I’m not the biggest fan of Ikea around. I’ve probably been about 3 times in my life and tried their meatballs once. I am NOT a fan of their prepacked furniture but don’t mind the kitchenware or home furnishings. But I don’t remember their meatballs tasting this good. This was a great, basic recipe but the gravy was tasty and complemented the meatballs and pasta noodles perfectly. Amber is a Mum and a culinary graduate but the meals aren’t overly fancy or difficult. They all sound gorgeous and I can’t wait to try more, in particular some of her desserts. Thanks Amber for the recipe and getting to know you. This meatball recipe is definitely a keeper.
