It may be below freezing in parts of our beautiful country, but it's beautiful in AZ ! It's supposed to be 79 here today and clear. Later in the week, it will be in the low 60's but for today, we are blessed. Just watched the news and weather and some places are getting "feet" of snow. It's the one thing I love in AZ, the winters. I totally understand snowbirds mentality now.
Today, we are working on dinner for the family. Something different and easy that everyone should enjoy. These are really pretty easy to make and are quick if you need to put something together in a hurry. If you are expecting a crowd, this recipe can be doubled or tripled easily to feed a crew.
After Monday, we need something easy and quick : )
Enjoy the day --

Swedish Meatballs
1 pound ground beef
3/4 cup bread crumbs, soaked in 1/2 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 small onion, grated and drained
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
4 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons flour (any kind)
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup sour cream (light sour works well, but I would avoid fat free)
Combine the first 8 ingredients. Form the meat mixture into 1-inch balls. Place 3 Tbsp of the butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the meatballs for about 10 minutes. Remove them and most of the fat. Stir the flour and the remaining 1 Tbsp of butter into the pan. Add the broth. Simmer until it thickens, about 2 minutes. Strain it with a sieve to remove clumps. Return it to your pan. Reduce heat to low; stir in the sour cream. Return the meatballs to the pan for 1 minute.
We like to serve them over egg noodles or rice.
