If you haven’t tried Swedish Meatballs, I urge you to do so. Flavored with nutmeg, these meatballs are bathed in the creamiest sauce. Serve them over freshly cooked egg noodles for a hearty and extraordinary meal.
Can I Use Regular Breadcrumbs Instead Of Panko Breadcrumbs?
Yes, you can use regular breadcrumbs. You can even use crushed saltine crackers, but make sure you crush them finely.
How Can I Make This Dish Lighter?
Make sure to use lean ground beef, and instead of using sour cream, use a mixture of half and half with 2 teaspoons of cornstarch to thicken the sauce.
What Other Soup Can I Use Instead Of Cream Of Chicken Soup?
You can use cream of mushroom soup or cream of celery soup. The flavor will vary though.
