The Great Swedish Meatballs with the most beautiful thick and fluffy gravy are smothered. The meatballs are full of wonderful flavor. You’ll quickly accept that these are the best you have got. And the sauce – you can’t miss the rich, delicious gravy sauce that the browned up meatball bits smother these meatballs in. Those pieces of meatball trapped at the bottom of the pan make the gravy what it is. I could almost drink it! Just make sure to make a little extra if you serve these over an egg noodle bed – you ‘re going to want a portion to slurp down.
