Instructions

1. Make the Meatballs
2. Add all the meatball ingredients to a stainless steel bowl.  Use your hands to mix together the meat.  Roll meat into medium sized meatballs.  Mine made 16
3. Heat sauté pan on medium and add oil.  Once that heats up, place meatballs in pan and sauté for 10 - 12 minutes turning them every once in a while.  Once they are done, turn the heat off under the pan
4. Make the Sour Cream Sauce
5. Add butter in a medium sauce pan and heat it on medium low.  Once the butter has melted, add flour and whisk until it becomes a paste.  Make sure to whisk at least for 1 minute
6. Add all the other ingredients for the sour cream sauce EXCEPT for the sour cream.  Whisk together until it thickens somewhat - about 10 minutes
7. Turn heat off under pan and let the sauce cool for 5 minutes before adding the sour cream.  Stir until combined
8. If you are putting these on zoodles - you can make them before starting the recipe
9. Turn the heat back on under the meatballs and add the sour cream sauce to the pan.  Heat for 5 minutes.  If you are having zoodles, sauté them in a big pan for 3 minutes
10. Plate zoodles
11. (Decide if you want your Swedish meatballs on your zoodles or on the side.)  Ladle the meatballs with sour cream sauce on your zoodles
12. Serve
13. Eat
14. Enjoy

Recipe Notes

You don't have to have zoodles with this dish, but they are fabulous and low carb.

Use 1 cup for thicker sour cream sauce. I used 3/4 cup
