These Swedish meatballs are such a classic delicious dinner; they have a delightful aroma I bet you will eat half of them before even you make the creamy meatball sauce, which will make them tender and juice. I love these Swedish meatballs even more than the ones I buy from Ikea; the fresh ginger, garlic and parsley which I add to the meatballs make them incredibly delicious.
