    I thought the sauce would be good but it was pretty weird.. Nobody liked it.. The flavor was nothing like what you'd expect.. I was totally disappointed

    I just made this, added French onion dry soup to the sour cream a few days ago so it was soft.
    This is so delicious!
    Thank you so much for sharing 😀
    This is one happy family with full tummies.

    If it is YOUR take on Swedish meatballs…then it's not Swedish meatballs! There is so much wrong with this… No onions… not frying the meatballs… and what is up with the sauce??? =(

    I am sure it's tasty and nice.
    But it is not Swedish meatballs with traditional gravy.

    And served with noodles?? – HEATHEN!! 😉

    I love the recipe, Like you, I've been changing it up to make it more or less easier & less tedious so I made what I call Swedish Meatloaf. Since I cant use butter I chose a cheap medium to help with gravy buy using a can of mushroom soup strained & a cup of water a tsp of coconut sugar & all the typical spices you find in Swedish meatballs & 2 shallots & a small clove of garlic then I cook this thoroughly, strain out all the bits & let cool a bit then I add the sour cream to add body & creaminess. It is a bit different cause its less fat & less salt to suit my dietary restrictions but has proven to be faster for me to make & tastes exquisitely close to the real Swedish meatballs. I make my own preserves since Loganberries are not often seen where I live. So I tend to use apple plum Rhubarb berries in a combination of 3 fruits with raw honey not sugar so it keeps in the fridge for up to 6 weeks if it even lasts lol. Thank you for this recipe & video, it helped me while I was recreating my meatloaf in a Swedish style even though its not accurate it is a healthier version of it in a loaf form 🙂

    I also bake my meat balls…no fuss no muss! I am so curious using all-spice, and nutmeg? That is very interesting and I will try this! I try to show people that a rue is simple to do and it is so much better than other methods…thank you. So since u went to Sweden did u have the requisite “Swedish Meatballs” or do they become offended when Americans order that…did u have delicious fondue Or Racellete? Thank you so much for the video…bless u!

    First time making this and it was so bland. I add my own seasoning and it was a little better but all I taste is the sour cream. Makes me wanna gag. I'd either omit it or put less. Also wish I had added onions

    Proud to say that I actually made this for my sister's family and they congratulated me on making quite the dish. They thoroughly enjoyed it! And my sister's 6 year old kept on saying that he was enjoying his supper. Which is quite a big thing because its such a mission to get him to eat! Thank you so much!

    I just prepared her recipe and had it for lunch. It was simply awful. Too much allspice and nutmeg! She didn't just season the meatballs with allspice and nutmeg, she had to add more of that crap to the gravy. The allspice and nutmeg just overpowered the entire dish. The commentators are right, the minced onion is missing from the flavor. In Sweden they pour it over mashed potatoes, not noodles! If she actually went to Sweden she would have known that. I lived in North Germany for 7 years, occasionally taking a ferry there for the holiday. But, I decided to follow her directions to the letter. And I hated it. She over did it with the allspice, just a pinch please and do not add nutmeg. That killed it. I get it, she loves allspice and nutmeg for dinner. I like it in an eggnog recipe, not so much on meatballs. I'm going to drain and wash the meatballs off to remove as much of that allspice and nutmeg overpowered taste and doctor the thing with the gravy I always make. I hate to throw it away, but I just can't eat anymore of this the way it is now.
