Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
6 tbsp unsalted butter
2 onions, minced
4 slices caraway-rye bread, crusts removed, torn into pieces
3 1/2 cups low-sodium beef broth
1 cup sour cream
2 large egg yolks
1/2 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 lb 90-percent lean ground beef
1 lb ground pork
1/2 cup flour
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 tsp minced fresh dill
Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 475 degrees. Melt 1 tbsp butter in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook onions until softened, about 8 minutes; transfer to large bowl. Add bread, 1/4 cup broth, 1/4 cup sour cream, yolks, allspice, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to bowl with onions and mash with fork until smooth. Add beef and pork and knead with hands until well combined.
Form mixture into 1 1/4-inch meatballs (you should have about 60 meatballs) and arrange on wire rack set inside rimmed baking sheet. Bake until lightly browned, about 15 minutes. Transfer to slow cooker.
Melt remaining butter in large skillet over medium heat. Whisk in flour and cook until beginning to brown, about 3 minutes. Slowly whisk in remaining broth, bring to boil, and transfer to slow cooker. Cover and cook on low until meatballs are tender and sauce is slightly thickened, 4 to 5 hours.
Transfer 1/2 cup sauce from crock pot to small bowl. Whisk in remaining sour cream, soy sauce, and dill; gently stir into slow cooker. Serve. (If desired, meatballs can be held in crock pot on low, partially covered, for 1 to 2 hours. Stir meatballs occasionally, adding up to 2 tbsp water as needed to thin sauce.)
Make Ahead: Meatballs and sauce can be prepared and refrigerated separately for up to 3 days. To finish, transfer meatballs to slow cooker. Microwave sauce on high power, stirring every 30 seconds, until heated through, about 3 minutes. Pour sauce over meatballs and heat with crock pot on low until heated through.
Make It a Meal: These tiny meatballs can also be served as a main course. To turn the Swedish Meatballs into a main course, in step 2 simply roll the meat mixture into 2-inch meatballs (you should have about 35 meatballs) and proceed with the recipe as directed. When spooned over hot buttered egg noodles or steamed white rice, these larger meatballs will serve 6 to 8.
