Swedish Meatballs

Long before IKEA offered them to weary shoppers as a reward for successfully navigating their pleasantly lit yet inescapable furniture maze, Swedish Meatballs were a big deal in American cuisine. Brought to the country by Scandinavian immigrants, Swedish Meatballs were traditionally served as part of a Smörgåsbord, a buffet-style banquet, but in the 1950's could as frequently be seen eaten casually with cocktail toothpicks, perhaps first dipped in grape jelly. This warming recipe serves them in a rich, creamy sauce.
