Recipes Appetizers and Snacks Meat and Poultry Pork Swedish Meatballs (From a Swede!) 4.3 (84) 69 Reviews 10 Photos This is my mom's Swedish meatball recipe. This isn't the kind a lot of people are used to in a creamy white sauce. She served them every Christmas Eve in a chafing dish as part of the 'Smörgåsbord.' My mom used to have a vegetable sour cream and a lingonberry sauce on the table for those that might want to dip these in something.
