Description
Quick and easy Swedish meatballs made with just three ingredients, perfect for a tasty dinner or appetizer.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound ground beef
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup milk
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup finely chopped onion (optional)
- 1/4 cup gravy or sauce (for serving)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine ground beef, breadcrumbs, milk, salt, pepper, and onion if using. Mix with your hands until just combined.
- Form the mixture into small meatballs, about 1 inch across.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a bit of oil. Once shimmering, add the meatballs in a single layer.
- Cook the meatballs until browned on all sides, about 8 to 10 minutes. Ensure they are cooked through.

Notes
For extra moist meatballs, consider adding an extra tablespoon of milk. Mixing beef with ground pork can enhance flavor and texture.
