In Sweden we don't use tomatoes in a sauce with meatballs. It is not a proper Swedish dish!!

We would make a brunsås, translated as brown sauce, which is a type of cream sauce.

The recipe for this is:

1/8 pint cream

1/4 pint beef stock

1/2 tablespoon soy sauce, to taste

1 tablespoon white flour

1 tablespoon water

salt

white pepper

INGREDIENTS

1 egg

1/4 cup milk

1 pound ground beef

1/4 cup dry cream of wheat cereal

1/4 cup minced onion

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of chicken soup

1 (10.75 ounce) can condensed cream of mushroom soup

1 (12 fluid ounce) can evaporated milk

1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley

DIRECTIONS

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

In a large bowl, whisk together the egg and the milk. Add the beef, cream of wheat and onion and mix well. Shape into 1 inch balls. Place balls on a lightly greased baking sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for about 20 minutes.

Drain meatballs on paper towels, if needed. Then place meatballs in a lightly greased 2 quart casserole dish. In a separate medium bowl, combine the soups with the evaporated milk, stirring until smooth. Pour over the meatballs.

Bake uncovered at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for another 40 minutes. Sprinkle with parsley before serving.

Yeah, I've never eaten meatballs with a sauce made with tomatoes. No you should listen to Kayla, and it is served with potatoes and cowberry jam or gherkin.

One other thing. Please make the meatballs yourself, home made is so much better than store bought, it's like an entirely different dish.
