Well hello de friends I tell you one thing Ikea’s got nothing on my meatballs I made the perfect Swedish meatball for you with a perfect blend of meat served with a creamy buttery mashed potatoes and an amazing gravy then you could rub all over your

Body I tell you you’re going to love it I promise you stay tuned for it remember thumbs up if you like the video don’t forget to subscribe to the channel and don’t forget to ring the bell here we go Swedish mid balls [Applause] okay friends well I got the gloves on

We’re making meatballs today and we’re making a Swedish meatball oh no no no they’re not Swedish so my research Department said they are actually Turkish The Turk actually invented and Kings the Charles King Charles from Sweden brought them to Sweden and a stole them so as you know

Now we got Swedish meatballs what’s the big deal with Swedish meatball but they’re very good and people are asking for me to make them so here we go French chef and Italian uh making um Turkish SL Swedish midb we’re gonna have fun let’s not worry too much about where they come

From I got pork and I got uh uh uh beef uh 8020 beef and uh and pork we add a little bit of bacon because we like it but you don’t have to do that just ground pork will be fine one and a half

No no one and a qu pound one and a qu pound all right I already sauteed some uh some onion I got a huge onion that I cut and I already saute cuz I don’t want to put raw onion in a in a okay and by

The way I don’t really know if there’s a traditional recipe in here uh but it doesn’t matter we’re going to make them nice we’re going to make a nice gravy and we’re going to serve it with mashed potatoes and um and uh and then we’re

Going to make a um uh a cranberry jelly CU it’s supposed to be with a linger Berry sauce you try to find that in Fort l so we made them with cranberry and um and anyway let’s go let’s go let’s go friends so we got this big onion you can

See that’s a big one you know I cook with big onion if you don’t have big ones you know like this I’m talking about right if you don’t have a big one like this then do it put two of them in there right not going to be nobody’s going to

Complain oh there too many onion in you mid balls if they do you send them out so a little bit of salt uh I with salt going to have to figure that out what it is you like little bit of fresh black pepper in here

We’re going to put a lot of that and we can certainly adjust but I don’t put too much cuz I’m going to put a little Cayenne in there for a little heat and then I’m going to put a little bit of wish sauce okay just uh I don’t know

What would you say a good tablespoon of Wisher sauce and then we’re going to put some uh some breadcrumb this is a let me get the measuring cup because you know sometime I I I do things look it I got measuring cups I I know I don’t use them

Too often but I got them and I just want to make sure we get everybody this is a cup no it’s a cup a cup of fresh breadcrumb we made the fresh breadcrumb you can use Peno in there they probably use Peno I think Peno is no flavor at

All it’s dull so what I do is I make fresh break Jackie is going to give you a recipe for it it’s fantastic it’s really easy I make enough of it I make a lot of them and then I keep it in little container in my freezer whenever I need

It boom here it is all right so we’re going to put a little bit of garlic I got about uh two tablespoon of garlic Cho garlic you can put less you can put more it’s really up to you some people may not put as much remember it’s

Cooking no no rocket science around here we take things not to say I have a half of a teaspoon of cayenne cayenne pepper it’s very spicy we have a half of a teaspoon of all spice and we’re going to put some nutmeg now if you don’t have a nutmeg Grinder

Like that then put regular ground nutmeg not much of it is coming out cuz there’s a nut in there you see there’s a nut my nut is probably not working too good hold on you’re supposed to put a a you watch I’m going have technical problem no it ain’t

Coming out it’s not coming out so you know what I need to replace my nuts hold on I’ll be right there I got everything you know here go you put a big nut in there yeah I’m telling you in the middle of it I got to replace my

Nuts God bless me here you go friends look you take a knot right there you put it on top of this and you go like this and it s and now and now it’s coming out see it’s coming out right there you can see

It you see it don’t put too much now not me all spice all those are good in the background not in the foreground or where I put this back in there for I don’t need it so all right and and now we got two eggs okay yeah I put enough salt in

There there you go just in case now I got a half a cup of um I’m going to put a paril in there I don’t think a lot of people put paril in there but I love it I love parity anyway so um I am going to

Um let me put all this out of the way friends I have a half a cup of Buttermilk and um we’re going to see if we need it okay we’re not going to put it in quite yet we’re going to see if we need it it’s there and we’re going to

Mix this and uh and the onion got to be saute okay don’t be putting no raw onion there you know and we’re going to mix this really really good and and uh and don’t be afraid to over mix I see people oh don’t over mix it’ll make you bean

Bow tough I don’t know where they got that idea from okay it’ll make them tough all right now and and the gloves makes it easier wayse you know the stuff gos into your fingernails and it’s difficult to clean it just makes it easy that’s all and uh

You see very simple and then what we’re going to do we’re going to make some bowls and um got to make sure they’re really we the mix is well done we’re going to make some ballls and we’re going to let them refrigerated before we saute them and

Then we’re going to finish cooking them in the oven and then we’re going to make this beautiful gravy very simple simple very simple everything is simple this is not complicated and and you can all do this but you know you can all do everything I do I I do not do anything

Complicated the purpose of this channel is to do things then you guys can say hey I can do this it’s not that big of a deal it’s going to be delicious all right look it looks good all right so let me just be happy with

This and uh you know I’m still going to put a little bit of uh I’m going to put half of this buttermilk friends okay I got a half a cup I’m going to put about a quter cup cuz I like the flavor of it just like you notice I measured everything today

Friends I measured everything so you can’t say I didn’t measure normally I don’t like to measure too much cuz cooking like to make a gravy to make a sauce to make a soup you don’t measure but to make something like that to give a good idea for everybody

That likes to follow recipe you know and there’s a lot of you out there that I new in a kitchen so you don’t really know you got to give you some ideas you know so friends I think that’s it all right we’re not going to mix it any more

Than this I am going to make I going to show you I have a ice cream scoop now if you don’t have an ice cream Coop I highly recommend you get them they they’re not that expensive and you can do so many cool things with an ice cream

Scoop so all right I’m good so now you see all I got to do is just take my my gloves off put them right there all right and I’m good my hands are clean I don’t have to worry very cool there you go all right so now Swedish meatballs or a meatball I

Can’t believe I’m doing a recipe after a a furniture store who knows anyway well you know uh Jack just start a very good good point today I says I can’t believe I’m making a recipe for a furniture store I said well you think about M blue cheese they

Were any appliances business and they made one of the best blue cheese there is so look this is my ice cream scoop it’s small I take them and I roll them I roll them see they’re smaller and I put them on a um on a on a seal pad

You may want to keep your hands a little wet when you do that just a little bit wet like moist style and they won’t stick as much to your hand it’ll be easier to roll them and then when they are we’re going to put them in the

Fridge for at least 45 minutes so they nice and cold or you could have put them in you could put them in a freezer 15 20 minutes but not so good because they’re going to stick in the bottom of it they’re going to have a flat thing a

Flat thing so in a fridge for 45 minutes to an hour if you have the time all right friends I’m going to do all this we’re going to find out how many we got out of it and uh I’ll be back when we come back we continue the recipe see you

In a few minutes okay friends well we ended up with 43 of them our size and you know I don’t know the exact size of it but you know what I have a tape measure to give you an idea friends the uh the diameter is about almost 2 in 1

And 3/4 2 in Jack will give you the centimeter the metric measurement and then is there somewhere so uh you can put them in a freezer but be careful if you put them in the freezer because they’ll get a flat side on the freezer you see look look I put those in the

Freezer for 10 minutes and they got a flat side you see nice and round and over there little flat side so be careful if you put them in a freezer then after 10 minutes you roll them again you roll them again you want to make it roll them I mean some people

Don’t mind you know I’m a little anal about those kind of things you know so what we’re going to do uh we’re going to saute them really quick I’m going to I’m going to do a dozen of them just pop them in the oven I took a thermometer

Out so to remind all of you friends out there then use a thermometer you need to cook them at about 150° 145 155 but anywhere in there it would be fine you don’t need to cook it more than that 150 will be perfectly fine we’re going to make a little gravy very simple

Gravy I’m going to wait for this to be hot I’m looking for about 365 the gravy is very simple is uh is a butter in there I got a uh an ounz and a half 2 ounces of butter with A4 um cup of flour

And I’m making a little r i mean a child could do this this is so simple friend nothing to it nothing to it at all and then we’re going to put a little bit of stock and then we’re going to flever this okay and that’s all that is do it

Really really really nothing now my stock happens to be a beautiful stock this is our homemade stock it’s gorgeous and if you don’t have a homemade stock um then you obviously you use a store BT stock but try to make sure it’s a good one because it makes a whole world of

Difference for that sauce sprins okay so we’re going to keep cooking it for a while okay very simple so far and I’m going to flavor it with a a little bit of Wisher sauce a little bit of so sauce salt and pepper I’m going to flavor it

And we’re going to get it to the white texture and we’re going to put a touch of cream all right in the meantime let’s get those uh balls uh you know what the heat was not hard enough so let me stay with my sauce I’m also going to serve it

Because um AA can’t believe I’m still doing with the people AA but anyway they serve it with some kind of green vegetables some AA give you broccoli some give you frozen peas and mashed potatoes I got my butter mashed potatoes and I did broccoli and in the broccoli

Friends make sure let me let me get it can you see it Jack you got it the broccoli makees sure you get beautiful floret okay and and and and Jack is is going to give you a little example I show you exactly how to cut them perfectly don’t go out there and cut

Your broccoli from from you got to cut from underneath and uh and Jack will show you how to do it correctly all right friend we’re going to bring this to boil and then um let’s see if our oil is hot I’m looking for 365 I don’t have it

Yet but I’m close to it so it’s going to be okay and like I said I’m just going to do a dozen of them okay that’s all I’m going to do all right dozen of them and then we’re good to go we’ll um and all I’m going to do is I’m going

To give him a beautiful Maya reaction I got my garlic olive oil that I’m soting them in you can do it in the in any olive oil you like or you can do a good frying oil you know whatever cooking oil you have okay just a dozen for now we’re

Going to leave them alone they season perfectly so we don’t need to do very much to it you see it’s a little too thi thick right here so that’s why we got more stock all right and we’re going to continue cooking it and at the end we’re

Going to put a little bit of cream little bit of soy sauce we’re going to Flav this is so simple Eh this is really really simple we’re going to make it a gravy and uh see it’s looking beautiful already and the flour needs to cook so we’re going to continue cooking it now

The the fact that we’re using this beautiful stock uh it’s already delicious right there woohoo we don’t want it to cook them too much we just want to get a beautiful golden brown color and you know when I put them in the pan oh mama M it’s it’s getting too

Brown I don’t like it when that happens reduce the heat jum here reduce the heat there you go you know what fend this to be more in the middle let’s stick with this one over there and this one over there going I get them beautiful golden

Brown you got to do this friend you got to you got to get them you got to get that may reaction okay you just count just put them in the oven like this and now you could de fry them if you wanted to also and and that’ll go lot

Faster if you deep fry them but I don’t really like de frying those so look that sauce is looking beautiful I’m going to put just a little more stock in there I think I put it all right there I write a perfect recipe for you later on and U

Let’s see what we got here friends okay starting to get nice you know they’re fragile and remember we want them to be fragile they’re going to solidify as they cook okay and then we’re going to put them on a cookie sheet lined with a a seal pad and then they won’t

Stick if you don’t have a seal pad get yourself a parment pepper and voila voila one little brown out there very simple friends going to reduce the heat on here you don’t want to do too many at the time to time anyway so everything works out perfect I have 43 so I

Probably have too much you can cut the recipe in half you know and I’ll give you obviously half depends of course the size you’re making them if you flee form them then they may um you see now I pop them in the oven and however long it takes I tell

You what I’m not EX ly sure I I would guess to say 15 20 minutes but we’re going to know for sure and we’ll let you know I got the oven at 375° I’m just going to pop them in there and while they’re cooking I’m going to finish cooking the other ones

I’m going to finish the gravy and the gravy really let me just show you the gravy is nothing nothing to it friends a little bit of heavy whipping cream heavy whipping cream you got to put cream in this gravy they were now of course if you don’t have a nice

Stock you’re going to you’re going to need to do you’re going to have to really really you got to try to find a good stock for those of you that have never made look how beautiful that is uh for those of you that have never made your own stock you should try one

Time at least the beef stock I know it’s not exactly easy but uh um it’s really worth it a little bit of a l&p l&p it’s a lot easier to say l&p than whoh sheer sauce right wish to Sher sauce so I’m using a little bit of soy

Sauce also uh and that’s going to give us the salt so we have to be careful not too much there you go uh I would say what a tablespoon of soy sauce and a a tablespoon of the wor sauce we’re going to check seasoning and uh we’re going to let that

Cook for a little while and then you’ll know and then the broccoli now they apprach I’m going to take a fry pan and I’m going to saute them in a fry pan nice really really really quick to get them nice and and golden brown and

That’s what I’m going to do all right so I got myself another fried pen saute the broccoli finish the gravy and then and we get the mashed potato hot also so I’ll be back in a minute okay friends the gravy sauces is done and you know what I don’t know if

Uh AA does it but I’m gonna do it I’m gonna turn I’m gonna turn the heat off and I’m going to put little butter in there nothing wrong with that and if they don’t do it we should call them and let them know just a little bit of B
