Swedish Meatballs w/gravy

I figured Ben would be full of suggestions for recipes to try. This was one he found and sent to me.

 First I had to put the recipe on paper so I could follow it. I HATE using technology while I cook. Next, I needed a weekend beverage. My current drink of choice is Coney Island hard root beer.

 

 

I put all the ingredients in a glass bowl.

 

Then I remembered how much I didn't want to touch raw meat and dumped it all in the stand mixer bowl.

                                                                                                                                          

 Rolled into balls and put in the skillet with oil.

   No pictures of sauce making, the constant stirring couldn't be interrupted. It all happened so fast.

 Finished product served over mashed potatoes.

I was pleasantly surprised with the outcome. I have a fear of not cooking meat all the way through. I was terrified they would be pink in the middle, but no pink to be found. I think if and when I make them again, I will be halving the recipe. It took a lot longer than I had patience for.
