Ingredients
1 bag frozen meatballs
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp all-purpose flour
2 cups beef broth
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tsp Dijon mustard
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Brown the frozen meatballs in butter until heated through and lightly crisped.
Remove meatballs and melt more butter in the pan.
Whisk in flour and cook for 1–2 minutes to form a roux.
Slowly add beef broth, whisking constantly until smooth.
Simmer until slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
Stir in sour cream, Dijon mustard, and seasonings.
Return meatballs to the pan and coat with sauce.
Simmer for 5 more minutes, stirring gently.
Notes
You can substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream.
Serve with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice.
Add a spoonful of lingonberry jam for authentic Swedish flavor.
To make it dairy-free, use plant-based sour cream and butter alternatives.
