A quick and easy recipe for Swedish Meatballs using homemade meatballs, sour cream, cream of mushroom soup and brown gravy mix (can also be made into Hamburger Stroganoff!)
I used to hate Cream of Whatever soup and would almost never use it. But y'all. Y'all! They have come a LONG way with them in the last few years.
One night I was staring at the pantry trying to figure out something quick and easy to throw together for supper when I spied a can of Cream of Mushroom and a bag of egg noodles and thought... meh, why not?
I won’t say this recipe is an authentic, made from scratch, Swedish Meatball recipe (like you would get IN Sweden) but you know what? Dadgoneit if it's not delicious!
Sometimes I skip shaping the meatballs and just make this with seasoned, browned ground beef so it's like a Hamburger Stroganoff (I can't lie, my peoples love the stroganoff Hamburger Helper and this tastes exactly like it!)
You can save yourself some time and either buy prepared frozen meatballs or do what I do and make/freeze your own. Whenever I make meatballs, I always make extra to pop in the freezer for meals like this (or spaghetti, meatball subs, etc.)
Oh, and if your crew doesn't like mushrooms, I PROMISE they will not be put off by the soup. If Husband or Brutus knew there were mushroom bits in there they'd boycott supper but neither of them has ever had a clue when I make this!
Put this in your weeknight supper rotation. You'll be glad you did!
