Swedish Meatballs in Mushroom Gravy. What a satisfying dish!!!

Swedish meatballs, perhaps the country's most famous culinary item, are actually based on a recipe brought back from Turkey in the early 18th century by King Charles XII of Sweden. They are a part of both traditional holiday meals and a staple in everyday home cooking. So, what makes them different? Swedish Meatballs are typically smaller in size than Italian meatballs and they are usually made with a 50-50 ratio of ground meats. Usually combination of beef and pork. Some substitutes for pork can be: veal, chicken or turkey.
