Chances are if you have ever been to Ikea, then you have tried their Swedish Meatballs and Gravy with lingonberry sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Well now you can make them at home, plus this version tastes amazing. I might be a little biased, but seriously, these Swedish Meatballs and Gravy taste amazing, especially with a small dollop of said lingonberry sauce and my creamy Mashed Potatoes<\/a><\/strong><\/span> - heaven!!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you can't get lingonberry sauce then cranberry sauce will work just fine or if you are going near an ikea store, pick up a jar of their lingonberry sauce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The gravy kind of follows on the same ingredients as my ever so popular gravy with a couple of additions to turn it into that delicious creamy gravy that is traditionally served with the swedish meatballs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I blend the onions for the gravy using my awesome new Ninja Duo Blender with Auto IQ technology that you can see below. It is a super clever blender that features intelligent programs that combine pulsing and blending patterns, meaning no having to guess how long to pulse or blend etc. It's amazing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For the meatballs it's very limited ingredients, all you need is the ground beef and some seasoning and you are good to go, no complicated fancy ingredients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you like you could even serve these Swedish Meatballs and Gravy with these Perfect Chips<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n
