I've had a craving for this for a couple days, went to the store and spent $14.00 USD for the meal it's for 6 of us! Not bad! Do you like Swedish meatballs? Ever had them over Egg noodles? I know their usually an appetizer, but my mom used to make this when we were kids and I get an urge every now and then for them. I like to make them on the sweet side, I put some brown sugar in there! LOL! How about how do you like them? I make them with a mushroom sour cream sauce, sounds good! tdemex

Oh Yummy!! This sounds really good my friend. I have not had home made Swedish meatballs in a long long time. I occassionally have had some of the ones made up pre-frozen and stuff, but your talking about them makes me want some. I might have to find a recipe for these somewhere and try it.

I hadn't had them in a long time myself. But when I got laid off I had to go in to the thrift mode and those came to me! When I made them I'd forgotten how great they were! I've been making a lot more things using ground beef! Sure miss those t-bones though! LOL! tdemex

I don't know about Swedish meatballs but I can honestly say that I love meatballs!! Perhaps I eat the Swedish ones as well I don't know. I have spaghetti and meatballs and I tend to save the meatballs until the very last moment. I love the taste of them but I don't have them on a regular basis, perhaps once per month or so. Well, it sounds as though you really enjoy them though!! I love noodles too, very tasty!! Andrew

Mmmm...Swedish meatball sounds good...Quite honestly, I have never made them myself, but this post has inspired me. I am gonna try it, but I might substitute ground turkey for the ground beef [my body handles the turkey better]. Have you ever tried it with turkey? I guess it should still be pretty good. We'll see, anyway thanks for the dinner suggestion...

I love Swedish meatballs especially over egg noodles. I also love Mandarin Meatballs. Here is a recipe, they are wonderful and sweet too.
Mandarin Meatballs
Ingredients:
Meatballs-
2 lbs ground beef (lean)
2 large eggs
½ cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper
1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
¼ teaspoon garlic powder
Sauce-
1 cup brown sugar
3 tablespoons cornstarch
1 ¾ cups pineapple juice (reserved from pineapple tidbits)
1 15 oz can of mandarin oranges (DRAINED) *Add just before serving*
¼ cup white vinegar
1 ½ tablespoon soy sauce
1 ½ teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 (14 oz) can pineapple tidbits
Directions-
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Make the meatballs by combining all meatball ingredients in a large bowl. Mix well and shape into about 1” meatballs. Brown Meatballs in a non-stick frying pan and drain on paper towels.
Make the sauce by combining cornstarch and brown sugar in a sauce pan. Then add 1 ¾ cup pineapple juice and blend until the mixture is smooth. Add vinegar, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce and stir. Simmer uncovered on medium low until thickened (about 8 minutes).
In a casserole dish pour sauce over meatballs and add pineapple tidbits. Lightly mix meatballs until they are coated with the sauce. Bake in the oven for 30-40 minutes or until fully cooked.
Just before serving gently stir in the mandarin oranges and serve... Yummy Now I am so very hungary .. lol
Blessed be,
Mari

I love that dish. It's probably one of my favorites of all time. Mom makes it with a mushroom sour cream sauce and adds green peppers, sort of similar to a stroganoff. I've done a few little variations over the years to suit my own tastes, and actually really enjoy making it with plenty of fresh garden peas.
Oh gee thanks, now I'm hungry. :)

Well you did clear up something for me, someone else mentioned Ikea, I knew it was a furniture store but have never been to one. I couldn't figure out what Ikea had to do with meatballs! LOL! I now have a clue, it's good to learn something every day! Thanks. tdemex

I have had a craving for this for about two weeks now and haven't made them yet, now with this posting it has made me want them even more so I think they are in my near future. I like them on egg noodles the best. I have never tried them with sugar it sounds good, I may have to try that.

I love them. Have never made them myself, sounds like yours are devine. Never had with egg noodles, but I do love those. Had mostly as appetizers with toothpicks. $14 divided by 6 is a very cost effective meal. Enjoy!

Oh man, Swedish Meatballs is actually something that I did not grow up having very often (actually only a couple times) so when i hear mention of it like you just did my mind goes YUM, [[look around for an IKEA]], I love egg noodles and think they go brilliantly with in this recipe. I'll have to do a little looking around my neighborhood for Swedish Meatballs because I don't think any of them have it but Im going to check. thanks for the idea, I know my kids will love it and I've never made it at home! Kids love noodles and creamy sauce

I used to make several different meatball dishes and I haven't in a while now. Thanks for the reminder!
I usually make a sauce from cream of mushroom soup with butter and sour cream and serve it with the meatballs over rice or noodles. I also make a really good sweet and sour meatball dish that is great over the same.
I need to see what I have in the pantry and pick up the things needed for both of these dishes. Don't know why I haven't thought of making them lately, but I will now.

Sweedish meatballs sound fantatic to me right now. I would love that. I do like them very much. They are very rich and satisfying and are perfect over egg noodles. I am making chicken, mashed potatoes, and corn on the cob. Sweedish meatballs sound better, but I have potatoes that I neeed to use up.

Yes, and thanks for the invitation for tonight, what time is dinner? Lol. I like the creaminess of Swedish Meatballs, and Hungarian Goulash is very similar. I put extra sour cream and a can of tomatoes in the Hungarian Goulash. And no, I'm not Hungarian. :O)
