Cast Iron Skillet Swedish Meatballs
Cast Iron Skillet Swedish Meatballs
Man, Oh man this recipe is so good!!! This cast iron skillet Swedish Meatballs recipe is one of those comfort foods that is loaded with flavor. There’s something special about making the meatballs in the cast iron skillet too. They get a bit crispy and brown on the edges which pulls the most amazing taste when it’s all combined in the end. Maybe I’m just partial to cooking in the cast iron skillet. Ever since I learned how to season it properly it has been my favorite cookware. It will last forever! I know plenty of people who pass down their cast iron cookware. I even know collectors.
This recipe is made with half beef and half pork. I’m not sure why but it makes a big difference in the taste. I tried making it one time with just beef and it wasn’t the same. I much prefer the pork to beef ratio for texture and flavor. I also know the nutmeg is another flavor you don’t want to omit. I used to buy those prepackaged meatballs but not after realizing how easy it is to make them myself. There’s a huge difference in taste that is worth the little extra effort. You have got to try it if you haven’t already.
