Swedish meatballs
« on: August 20, 2009, 11:22:44 PM »
The mister and I are going to a church pot luck in about a week. I want to make Swedish meatballs in a crock pot. I could go on line and choose from millions of recipes but I wanted to use one from a tried recipe that kicks ass! Anyone got any recipes for the crock pot, i would love to hear them, thanks!

Not ignoring you SO, but I have never made Swedish meatballs.  Are they very different to other meatballs?

Iv'e made this one, and it's pretty good. http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/swedish-meatballs-recipe/index.html

I don't know about doing it in a crockpot, but you could look up some Lutheran reciepes also, like this one (they love their pot lucks!):

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Two bags of frozen store-brand Swedish meatballs

Cook in crockpot until thawed and heated

I know it's too late, but maybe next time.  My wife has made this several times and it's good.
