Swedish Meatballs are a classic recipe. This recipes makes the best rich creamy sauce your family will love from Serena Bakes Simply From Scratch.

My infatuation with Swedish Meatballs began during a chaotic time in our life when Colt and his good friend Eric got together and decided we should remodel our kitchen.

It all started with talk of new counter tops and floors. 

Then the next thing I know Colt and Eric send in my good friend Lisa (Eric's wife) to convince me if we were going to do the kitchen it had to be the whole shebang, cabinets and all.

As quickly as I agreed my kitchen was demolished, and no longer existed. 

We were washing dishes in the bath tub and cooking microwave dinners for the next 3 weeks of which Swedish Meatballs became my favorite.

I can't believe the boys had worked from the time they got off of work until the wee hours of the morning to get my kitchen reassembled.

A few years later I set out on the conquest for the perfect Swedish Meatballs, something so much better then the frozen dinners we ate.

These are sure to hit the spot and are even better than the iconic Ikea Swedish Meatballs.
