Traditional Swedish Meatballs, served over wide egg noodles, a perfect comfort food meal.

My hubby has always loved Swedish Meatballs.  I will admit, that aside from my Porcupine Meatballs, I really don’t make meatballs all that often.  I really don’t know why? They aren’t hard to make, and typically have pretty basic ingredients.  I think I need to change that.

I found the recipe for these Swedish Meatballs at Sarah’s Kitchen.Sarah’s blog was my assignment this month for The Secret Recipe Club.  Sarah is an English girl from Kent, but has lived in the United States since 2002.  Her and her husband reside in Houston, Texas, with their two fur babies.  Sarah has a wide range of recipes, that you are sure to enjoy! I will sure be back to try some more of her yummy bites, like the Bacon Jalapeno Deviled Eggs, the Cherry Pepsi Ribs and the Jalapeno Popper Quiche!
