CONFESSION. This is my mother-in-law's blog, and this is her Swedish Meatball recipe.
There is something very special about your mother-in-law making a food blog where she posts a bunch of the recipes she made while your husband grew up. It means that any time I want, I can say to my husband, "Hey! I'm making your mom's ______ for dinner!" and see his eyes light up. Mothers with sons- this is an amazing gift to your daughters-in-law. Our versions probably won't quite match up to yours, but we're really thankful that we get to make your sons so happy because of your food.

Heat butter and olive oil over medium high in a skillet. Use small cookie dough scoop to scoop meat mixture and drop into hot skillet.. Brown meatballs; remove with slotted spoon to a 2 1/2 qt. baking dish. Repeat with remaining meat mixture.
Add enough olive oil to make about 2 T in the skillet after all the meatballs are cooked, and stir in 3 T flour to make a roux. Slowly whisk in beef broth and cream; add seasonings. Stir over medium high heat until thickened.
Pour gravy over the meatballs in the baking dish, and bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Spoon over egg noodles.

Stars: 5, for sure! We did have a slight over-nutmeg situation, but the beauty of knowing the blog writer is that when you run into these types of pickles, you call and say "Hey! Sooo... why did this happen here?" Turns out, she always estimates, and guessed the measurements when she wrote the blog post! She said that there was probably actually a little bit more other spices-to-nutmeg ratio when she makes it. Regardless, it was still great, and with only the two of us, leftovers were gone by the next night!
