Because of Covid-19 pandemic, IKEA has shared it's famous recipe online as follows:
(I used Global News' rewriting of their recipe, instead of IKEA's way of presenting this recipe so as to ensure that no one has any screws leftover when they get to the end of the recipe...
)
So, without further ado, here’s how to make about 16 to 20 meatballs and sauce:
Swedish meatball ingredients
- 500 grams (about 1 pound) of ground beef
- 250 grams (about 0.5 pounds) of ground pork
- 1 onion, finely chopped
- 1 clove of garlic, crushed or minced

- 5 tablespoons of whole milk
- generous amounts of salt and pepper
Cream sauce ingredients

- 40 grams (3 tablespoons) of butter
- 40 grams (3 tablespoons) of plain flour
- 150 millilitres (2/3 cup) of vegetable stock
- 150 millilitres (2/3 cup) of beef stock
- 150 millilitres (2/3 cup) of thick double cream
- 2 teaspoons of soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard
Directions
Combine ground beef and ground pork in a bowl and break it up with your fingers to get rid of lumps.
Add chopped onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, egg and mix together.
Add milk and season with salt and pepper.
Roll mixture into small meatballs. Place on a clean plate, cover and refrigerate for two hours.
Heat oil in a frying pan on medium heat. Add meatballs and brown on all sides.
