Suggest a sauce for my meatballs?
Swedish ones ... from Sainsbury. Not as nice as the ones from Ikea without sauce though.
Nothing tomato based either. Cheers.

Undiluted Cream of Mushroom soup is one of the easiest, best tasting sauce for small meatballs I've ever had. It is so good ! you have to at least try it.....yum

Have you ever tried Drunken meatballs? They are delicious and I'm not even a meatball fan. Just pour a bottle of ketchup into a pan add 1 16 oz bottle of flat beer, a little garlic powder and a nice big handfull of brown sugar. add meat balls and boil until done. very good. Marcy
Lingonberry Sauce...
fantastic with swedish meatballs...
my husband often jokes that we have so much Ikea crap in our house that people who come to dinner parties will wonder if we are serving swedish meatballs with lingonberry sauce...
4 quarts lingonberries
2 cups water
3 lbs sugar
Pour off liquid on lingonberries.
Pick over berries carefully.
Place lingonberries in saucepan.
Add water.
Cover saucepan tightly and bring to boiling point. Cook slowly 15 minutes.
Remove from heat. Add sugar and stir until sugar is dissolved and sauce is cold.
If you like the Ikea version, then you can make a similar lingonberry sauce at home....lingonberry preserve (IKEA) and a home made cream based gravy....mix them and you have lingonberry sauce.
If you can't get lingonberry, cranberry is good too...
I used to work in Sweden and had to make the cranberry version when I got home cos there were no IKEAs in UK at that time!
My favorite way to make these wonderful meatballs is to use a can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 can of milk, stir together until smooth adding in a heaping spoon of sour cream just before serving. (Add a dash of nutmeg) Mix in your meatballs and serve over noodles and sprinkle with chopped parsley and you are ready to eat!
note: you can also use cream of chicken soup instead. If you are making alot of meatballs, just double the recipe.

Swedish Meatballs
INGREDIENTS
1/2 pound ground beef
1/2 pound ground Turkey
1/2 cup chopped onion
1/2 cup cooked brown rice (mushed up for better texture)
1 egg white
1/2 cup 2% milk
1 tablespoon dried parsley
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/4 cup all-purpose flour (I used whole wheat)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 tablespoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
2 cups boiling water
3/4 cup plain yogurt
DIRECTIONS
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
In a large bowl, combine ground beef, ground pork, chopped onion, bread crumbs, egg, and milk. Season with parsley, Worcestershire sauce, 2 teaspoons salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Mix well with your hands. Shape into walnut-size balls, and place on baking dish.
Bake for 30 minutes in preheated oven. Turn frequently so they brown evenly on all sides.
To make the sauce: In a saucepan, combine oil, flour, paprika, 1 tablespoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper. Cook over medium heat until sizzling. Stir in hot water and yogurt until smooth and heated through.
When meatballs have cooked 30 minutes, pour sauce over the top, and return to the oven for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
