Traditional Swedish Meatballs

  1. Mix together the ground meat, onions (pulverized), eggs, milk, bread crumbs and all of the spices except the whole allspice.
  2. Roll the meat mixture into half inch round balls - should be enough to cover about 3 baking sheets (sheets used solely to hold the rolled meatballs while they're waiting to be browned).
  3. Brown the meatballs in butter: place a large pan over medium to high heat and combine 1 TBS of butter with a half a baking sheet worth of meatball at a time for a total of six batches. Place the browned meatballs into baking dishes - two large baking dishes should be sufficient.
  4. Keep the heat on medium high and add the beef broth. Bring to a simmer.
  5. Once the mixture has thickened to a gravy, add salt and pepper to taste, and then pour over the meatballs.
  6. Sprinkle the whole allspice evenly among the meatballs.
  7. Bake the meatballs for 45-60 minutes at 350 degrees.
