Brought to America by Swedish immigrants, many of which settled in our beautiful state of Minnesota, Swedish meatballs date back to the 1920’s. They were considered a special meal because beef was a luxury item. These seasoned meatballs are traditionally served with pasta or potatoes and have many warming spices like: nutmeg, allspice, and coriander, giving them a unique and delicious flavor.
