Jump to Recipe • Print Recipe

Comfort food at it’s best, along with quick and easy dining, is what you’ll get with this homemade Swedish Meatballs with German Egg Noodles recipe.

I first made this recipe many, many years ago. It was with the help of Betty Crocker. Times have changed, though, and since then, I’ve made a few adjustments to this recipe to make it one of my family favorite meals.

This Swedish Meatballs recipe starts with homemade beef meatballs. This is an extra step but well-worth the effort. You’ll definitely taste the difference over the packaged frozen version.

That being said, if you’re really in a hurry, then definitely take advantage of this shortcut.

DID YOU KNOW? So what makes this recipe for Swedish Meatballs so special? I believe it has to do with being one of those comfort food recipes from bygone eras. For me, there’s something delicious about a one pot meal that’s so simple to make, but more importantly, it evokes happy memories of watching my mom cook.

And, if you make a few batches of meatballs ahead of time and freeze them for later, you can pull out what you need and cook the meatballs up in the sauce of your choice when you’re pressed for time–easy peasy.

You’ll find that doubling this recipe requires just a little more prep but the same ease of effort as the original recipe. Which is why this dish should be included at all potluck events.

All you’d need to do is keep the food warm in a crockpot or Nesco.

Serve it piping hot and enjoy!
