Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (32 ounce) can cream of mushroom soup
16 ounces milk
1 lb frozen meatballs
16 ounces egg noodles, cooked

Steps:

  • In a medium sized saucepan, mix soup with milk.
  • (I use a whisk to get all lumps out.) Once that is creamy, add the frozen meatballs.
  • Cover and cook on low/medium until meatballs are heated through, scraping bottom of pot regularly to avoid burning.
  • Serve over cooked egg noodles.

SWEDISH MEATBALLS WITH SECRET INGREDIENT



Swedish Meatballs With Secret Ingredient image

When I was growing up there was a chain of Swedish Smorgasbord restaurants in the area which I lived. It wasn't until about 10 years ago that I met the original owner of that chain at a private party in the last remaining restaurant in the chain. He cooked the foods for this party himself with his son who at that time was the manager of that one remaining establishment. One of the dishes that he served, personally to the 20+ persons invited, was his Swedish Meatballs. They were the absolute best tasting meatballs I ever ate. I took him aside and asked him quietly..."is the wonderful taste in these meatballs the fennel seeds in the sauce?" He smiled and whispered back..."yes that is my secret for making the best Swedish meatballs". I came upon a recipe for Swedish Meatballs at Group Recipes.com that sounded so similar to that recipe so I wanted to post this version for the ZWT #6 2010 Scandinavian Region.
