Ingredients:

• 1 cup beef stock
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• ½ teaspoon ground black pepper, or more to taste
• ½ teaspoon dried rosemary, crushed, or more to taste
• 10 ounces frozen cooked meatballs, thawed

Directions:

1. Combine Ingredients:

• In a large saucepan, whisk together beef stock, heavy cream, flour, soy sauce, black pepper, and rosemary. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally until the mixture is smooth.

1. Thicken the Sauce:

• Continue to cook the sauce, stirring occasionally, until it thickens, about 10 minutes.

1. Add Meatballs:

• Stir in the thawed meatballs and continue cooking until the meatballs are heated through and reach an internal temperature of at least 160 degrees F (71 degrees C), about 5 more minutes.

1. Adjust Seasonings:

• Taste the sauce and adjust the seasonings with more pepper or rosemary if needed.

Serving Suggestions:

• Serve the Swedish meatballs and sauce over cooked egg noodles or rice for a complete meal.
• Consider pairing with light side dishes like Roasted Garlic Lemon Broccoli or a simple Caesar Salad to balance the richness of the meal.

Storage:

• Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. Reheat in a saucepan or microwave.

Tips:

• For a thicker sauce, if needed, you can make a cornstarch slurry (1 tablespoon of cornstarch mixed with 2 tablespoons of water) and stir it into the sauce to achieve the desired consistency.
• This sauce doesn’t freeze well due to the heavy cream, as it may separate and affect the consistency when thawed.

With its creamy texture and savory flavor, this Swedish meatball sauce transforms everyday ingredients into a luxurious dish that’s perfect for any occasion.
