These homemade Swedish meatballs are the ultimate comfort food - tender beef and pork meatballs pan-fried to golden perfection and finished in a rich, creamy gravy. Seasoned with our Umami Blend for a deeply savoury depth of flavour, this easy weeknight recipe comes together in just 50 minutes.

Ingredients

For the meatballs

250g beef mince
250g pork mince
½ medium onion, grated
1 garlic clove, minced
1 egg
20g panko crumbs
2 tbsp milk
2 tsp Gewürzhaus Umami Blend
1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil, for frying

For the sauce

50g unsalted butter
3 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 ½ cup beef stock
½ cup cooking cream
½ tsp Dijon mustard
1 tsp Gewürzhaus Umami Blend
Good quality cooking salt, to taste
Black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped, for serving

Directions

In a bowl, combine all the ingredients for the meatballs, except the oil, and mix thoroughly. Shape the mixture into 12 meatballs (or 20 small meatballs, if preferred).
Heat the oil, then cook the meatballs over medium heat in a large skillet, turning as needed, until they are golden brown and cooked through. Remove them from the skillet and cover to keep warm.
In the same skillet, melt the butter. Whisk in the flour and cook until it turns golden. Gradually stir in beef stock, cooking cream, Dijon mustard and Umami Blend. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Once the sauce has thickened, return the meatballs to the skillet and toss them in the gravy. Cook until the meatballs are heated through.
Garnish with finely chopped fresh parsley and serve immediately.

We’ve already made this twice since opening the calendar, it was fantastic! Hope it becomes permanent.

The kids loved it! 5 star meal

And so easy. Wish the Umami Blend was a permanent that we could order

Delicious. Great meatballs. Wish the packet was bigger.

This was delicious! Full of creamy flavour! We served it with mash potato and safe to it’s now a family favourite! Everyone inhaled it. As this is an exclusive spice to the advent calendar, I’m really hoping it will be released in 2026.

Delicious!! I’m going to be sad when I use up the Instant Umami sachet from the Advent Calendar as this makes such a great ‘comfort food’ meal. I served with some maple roasted homegrown carrots. Wife has already requested it again next autumn along with some more roasted veg and maybe mash. Try it!
