"Yumm!! Seriously delish! I was a little leery. I tasted the gravy before baking and it was bland, but with the meatballs... So good! I used Kirkland meatballs rather than making my own and it was still yummy! I'll try the meatballs next time when I'm not in a hurry. " - Astancilwomack

    This was a fun recipe to try - great reviews! A bit time consuming with making the meatballs but worth it. I used a meatloaf meat mix & added just a dash of cayenne but it was deliciously perfect!

    I used wild venison instead of beef. And ran out of time to form meatballs so added some milk and baked meatloaf instead. Served with cranberry sauce. Turned out so tasty! Perfect spice, don't change a thing.

    Yumm!! Seriously delish! I was a little leery. I tasted the gravy before baking and it was bland, but with the meatballs... So good! I used Kirkland meatballs rather than making my own and it was still yummy! I'll try the meatballs next time when I'm not in a hurry.

    This was a very good meal. My son wanted Swedish meatballs for his birthday dinner. He and the rest of loved it. Will def make this again soon. I added garlic to the meatballs and mushrooms to the gravy. That was the only difference I did

    Made this last night. Easy to make, took about an hour to put together and get in the oven. My husband said it was one of the best meals I've ever made (I've been cooking for him for 15 years!). Will definitely make again. I thought the gravy was a little runny and mentioned I thought I'd thicken it with a touch of cornstarch next time -- my husband said PLEASE DON'T, IT'S PERFECT THE WAY IT IS! Should also mention I made a second vegetarian batch for myself - used Boca hamburger patties (defrosted, mixed by hand with the other ingredients scaled down from 3 pounds of meat), used vegetable broth for the gravy. It was also declicious. Thanks Uncle Ocscar!

    These are so good!! Have a lot of people over or plan on leftovers as they are so filling.

    Fantastic! Even my picky eater ate all of what was on his plate! Thank you Great Uncle Oscar, this will now be a hand down in our family!

    These meatballs come out fantastic! I've even followed the recipe exactly except substituted chicken chop meat for the heavier pork and beef. The recipe is still fantastic using chicken!

    Easy to make and very good.

    What a great recipe! My husband thought they were awesome! Thank you.

    Super tasty and easy to make! Everyone loved it.
    3 years, 2 months, 1 weeks, 3 days, 2 hours, 39 minutes ago
    Great recipe! A little time-consuming so allow for plenty of time. It makes a lot and is therefore great for left-overs or for freezing. Tastes even better the next day!
