- Once melted, add the flour and stir well. Cook for one minute.
- Gradually pour in the beef stock, whisking well in between. Keep going until all the beef stock has been used.
- Bring it to the boil, then turn it down to a simmer.
- Pour in the double cream, then add the worcestershire sauce and the dijon mustard. Season to taste.
- Add the meatballs back into the sauce and stir well. Cook for a few minutes until the meatballs are cooked through.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley.
- Serving suggestion: serve with mashed potato and green vegetables.

We had the Swedish meatballs for tea tonight. We both enjoyed them but I think I might use a bit less flour next time as I thought the sauce was a bit thick. Just a matter of preference though.
Last night i cook for me and my partner wow absolutely delicious!
This recipe is quite time consuming I make but soooo worth it!! Absolutely delicious, I’d eat it everyday if I could 😂
